Remediation
Using Console
Using Console
To remediate the “S3 Bucket Should Not Allow WRITE_ACP Access to Authenticated Users” misconfiguration in AWS, you can follow these steps using the AWS console:
- Log in to the AWS Management Console.
- Navigate to the S3 service.
- Click on the name of the bucket that you want to remediate.

Using Python
Using Python
To remediate the misconfiguration of allowing WRITE_ACP access to authenticated users in an AWS S3 bucket using Python, follow these steps:This code will remove the statement that allows WRITE_ACP access to authenticated users from the S3 bucket policy.
- Create an AWS S3 client using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3).
- Get the bucket policy using the
get_bucket_policy()
method of the S3 client. - Parse the JSON policy to identify the statement that allows WRITE_ACP access to authenticated users.
- Remove the identified statement from the policy.
- Update the bucket policy using the
put_bucket_policy()
method of the S3 client.
