Ensure the bucket ACL does not grant 'Everyone' FULL_CONTROL [READ, WRITE, READ_ACP, WRITE_ACP]​

Description​

The S3 bucket ACL gives 'Everyone' total control of the bucket and the bucket ACL. It is best practice to restrict FULL_CONTROL.

Note: S3 buckets created with the default/recommended AWS settings have ACLs disabled and will therefore be compliant with this policy.

Remediation​

Perform the following to revoke FULL_CONTROL for 'Everyone':

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console

  2. Select Services

  3. Select S3

  4. Select the bucket to change

  5. Navigate to Permissions

  6. Navigate to Access Control List and select Edit

  7. Against Everyone (public access), uncheck 'List' and 'Write' under Objects, and 'Read' and 'Write' under Bucket ACL

  8. Select Save changes

  9. Repeat steps 4-8 for each bucket requiring updated permissions
