S3 Bucket Not Requiring HTTPS

Objects can be fetched over plain HTTP, exposing their contents and the request's credentials in transit.

Free to start. No card. The playground just needs your work email.

01

Detect

ZopNight checks this automatically across AWS, with read-only access to the account.

02

Explain

Every finding says exactly what to change: Enforce HTTPS-only access on S3 bucket.

03

Fix

The finding opens with the fix already written out, step by step, so it is one ticket, not an investigation.

Applies to
S3 Buckets on AWS
The fix, by hand
  1. S3 → bucket the resource → Permissions → Bucket policy → Edit.
  2. Add a Deny statement on Action s3:* / Resource the bucket + /* / Condition aws:SecureTransport = false.
  3. Save and verify an HTTP curl returns 403 (HTTPS must still succeed).
  4. Repeat across every bucket. Use a Service Control Policy at the Organization level to enforce account-wide.
  5. Add an alerting rule on CloudTrail aws:SecureTransport=false events to catch regressions.

These are the steps the finding carries in the product.
