S3 buckets can be versioned. When the S3 bucket is unversioned it means that a new version of an object overwrites an existing one in the S3
bucket.
It can lead to unintentional or intentional information loss.
Ask Yourself Whether
- The bucket stores information that require high availability.
There is a risk if you answered yes to any of those questions.
Recommended Secure Coding Practices
It’s recommended to enable S3 versioning and thus to have the possibility to retrieve and restore different versions of an object.
Sensitive Code Example
const s3 = require('aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3');
new s3.Bucket(this, 'id', {
bucketName: 'bucket',
versioned: false // Sensitive
});
The default value of versioned is false so the absence of this parameter is also sensitive.
Compliant Solution
const s3 = require('aws-cdk-lib/aws-s3');
new s3.Bucket(this, 'id', {
bucketName: 'bucket',
versioned: true
});
