Risk Level: High
Cloud Entity: Simple Storage Service (S3)
CloudGuard Rule ID: D9.AWS.NET.06
Covered by Spectral: Yes
Category: Storage

GSL LOGIC

S3Bucket should not have ( accessPublicBlock isEmpty() = true or accessPublicBlock.ignorePublicAcls = false or accessPublicBlock.restrictPublicBuckets =false ) and ( acl.grants contain [uri like 'http://acs.amazonaws.com/groups/global/%'] or policy.Statement with [Effect='Allow' and (Principal='*' or Principal.AWS='*') and Condition isEmpty()])

REMEDIATION

From Portal:

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.
2. In the Buckets list, choose the name of the bucket that you want to create a bucket policy for or whose bucket policy you want to edit.
3. Choose Permissions.
4. Choose Edit to change the public access settings for the bucket.
5. Choose the setting that you want to change, and then choose Save
6. Under Bucket policy, choose Edit. This opens the Edit bucket policy page.
7. On the Edit bucket policy page, explore Policy examples in the Amazon S3 User Guide, choose Policy generator to generate a policy automatically, or edit the JSON in the Policy section.
   Here remove policies for principals '*'. If necessary, modify the policy instead, to limit the access to specific principals.
8. In the Policy box, edit the existing policy or paste the bucket policy from the Policy generator. Make sure to resolve security warnings, errors, general warnings, and suggestions before you save your policy.
9. Choose Save changes, which returns you to the Bucket Permissions page.

From TF:
Add a policy document with required permissions and appropriate condition as needed as follows:

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "example" {
	...
	statement {
		effect = "Allow"
		
		actions = [
		REQUIRED_ACTIONS
		]
		principals {
			REQUIRED_PRINCIPALS
		}
		
		resources = [
		"S3_BUCKET_ARN",
		]
		
		condition {
			test     = TEST
			variable = CONTEXT_VARIABLE
			
			values = [
			VALUES
			]
		}
	}
	...
}

From Command Line:
To add a policy with required permissions and appropriate condition as needed, run:

aws s3api put-bucket-policy --bucket BUCKET-NAME --policy file://policy.json
