aws_s3_bucket Resource

[edit on GitHub]

Use the aws_s3_bucket InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single AWS bucket.

For additional information, including details on parameters and properties, see the AWS documentation on S3 Buckets.

Installation

This resource is available in the Chef InSpec AWS resource pack.

See the Chef InSpec documentation on cloud platforms for information on configuring your AWS environment for InSpec and creating an InSpec profile that uses the InSpec AWS resource pack.

Syntax

An aws_s3_bucket resource block declares a bucket by name, and then lists tests to be performed.

describe aws_s3_bucket(bucket_name: 'test_bucket') do
  it { should exist }
  it { should_not be_public }
end

describe aws_s3_bucket('test_bucket') do
  it { should exist }
end

Parameters

bucket_name (required)

This resource accepts a single parameter, the S3 Bucket Name which uniquely identifies the bucket. This can be passed either as a string or as a bucket_name: 'value' key-value entry in a hash.

Properties

region

The region of the bucket. Region is overridden based on the location returned from S3.

bucket_acl

An array of AWS Grants detailing permission grants on the bucket.

bucket_policy

The IAM policy document controlling access to the bucket.

bucket_lifecycle_rules

The lifecycle policy rules that define actions S3 will take for all objects (or a subset of objects) in their lifetime.

tags

An hash with each key-value pair corresponding to a tag associated with the entity.

Examples

Test the bucket-level ACL.

describe aws_s3_bucket('test_bucket') do
  its('bucket_acl.count') { should eq 1 }
end

Check if a bucket has a bucket policy.

describe aws_s3_bucket('test_bucket') do
  its('bucket_policy') { should be_empty }
end

Check if a bucket appears to be exposed to the public.

describe aws_s3_bucket('test_bucket') do
  it { should_not be_public }
end

Check if the correct region is set.

describe aws_s3_bucket('test_bucket') do
  its('region') { should eq 'us-east-1' }
end

Check bucket’s ACL for correct grants.

bucket_acl = aws_s3_bucket('my-bucket').bucket_acl

Look for grants to “AllUsers” (that is, the public).

all_users_grants = bucket_acl.select do |g|
  g.grantee.type == 'Group' && g.grantee.uri =~ /AllUsers/
end

Look for grants to “AuthenticatedUsers” (that is, any authenticated AWS user - nearly public).

auth_grants = bucket_acl.select do |g|
  g.grantee.type == 'Group' && g.grantee.uri =~ /AuthenticatedUsers/
end

Test all buckets .

aws_s3_buckets.bucket_names.each do |bucket_name|
    describe aws_s3_bucket(bucket_name) do
      it { should have_default_encryption_enabled }
      end
  end

Test buckets in a specific region .

aws_s3_buckets.bucket_names.each do |bucket_name|
  if aws_s3_bucket(bucket_name: bucket_name).region == region
    describe aws_s3_bucket(bucket_name) do
      it { should have_default_encryption_enabled }
          end
      end
  end

Check if a bucket has a bucket policy that requires requests to use HTTPS.

describe aws_s3_bucket('test_bucket') do
  it { should have_secure_transport_enabled }
end

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

be_public

The be_public matcher tests if the bucket has potentially insecure access controls. This high-level matcher detects several insecure conditions, which may be enhanced in the future. Currently, the matcher reports an insecure bucket if any of the following conditions are met:

1. A bucket ACL grant exists for the ‘AllUsers’ group
2. A bucket ACL grant exists for the ‘AuthenticatedUsers’ group
3. A bucket policy has an effect ‘Allow’ and principal ‘*’

Note: This resource does not detect insecure object ACLs.

it { should_not be_public }

have_access_logging_enabled

The have_access_logging_enabled matcher tests if access logging is enabled for the s3 bucket.

it { should have_access_logging_enabled }

have_default_encryption_enabled

The have_default_encryption_enabled matcher tests if default encryption is enabled for the s3 bucket.

it { should have_default_encryption_enabled }

have_versioning_enabled

The have_versioning_enabled matcher tests if versioning is enabled for the s3 bucket.

it { should have_versioning_enabled }

have_secure_transport_enabled

The have_secure_transport_enabled matcher tests if a bucket policy that explicitly denies requests via HTTP is enabled for the s3 bucket.

it { should have_secure_transport_enabled }

AWS Permissions

Your Principal will need the S3:Client:GetBucketAclOutput, S3:Client:GetBucketLocationOutput, S3:Client:GetBucketLoggingOutput, S3:Client:GetBucketPolicyOutput, and S3:Client:GetBucketEncryptionOutput actions set to allow.

You can find detailed documentation at Actions, Resources, and Condition Keys for Amazon S3.
