DeleteBucketReplication

​

Event Information

• The DeleteBucketReplication event in AWS for S3 refers to the action of deleting the replication configuration for a specific S3 bucket.
• This event is triggered when a user or an automated process initiates the deletion of the replication configuration for a bucket.
• Deleting the replication configuration means that any ongoing or scheduled replication of objects from the source bucket to the destination bucket will be stopped and no further replication will occur.

​

Examples

• Unauthorized deletion: If the DeleteBucketReplication action is not properly secured, unauthorized users or malicious actors may be able to delete the replication configuration for a bucket. This could result in the loss of data replication and potentially impact data availability and durability.

• Data loss: If the DeleteBucketReplication action is accidentally or mistakenly executed, it can lead to the deletion of the replication configuration for a bucket. This can result in the loss of data replication, potentially leading to data loss if the primary bucket becomes unavailable or experiences a failure.

• Compliance violations: If the DeleteBucketReplication action is performed without proper authorization or documentation, it can lead to compliance violations. Organizations that are required to maintain data replication for regulatory or contractual reasons may face penalties or legal consequences if the replication configuration is deleted without proper justification or approval.

Remediation

​

Using Console

1. Enable versioning for S3 buckets:

   • Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the S3 service.
   • Select the desired bucket and click on the “Properties” tab.
   • Under the “Versioning” section, click on “Edit”.
   • Select “Enable versioning” and click on “Save changes”.

2. Enable server access logging for S3 buckets:

   • Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the S3 service.
   • Select the desired bucket and click on the “Properties” tab.
   • Under the “Server access logging” section, click on “Edit”.
   • Select “Enable logging” and provide the target bucket where the logs will be stored.
   • Click on “Save changes”.

3. Enable default encryption for S3 buckets:

   • Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the S3 service.
   • Select the desired bucket and click on the “Properties” tab.
   • Under the “Default encryption” section, click on “Edit”.
   • Select the desired encryption option (e.g., SSE-S3, SSE-KMS, or SSE-C) and provide the necessary details.
   • Click on “Save changes”.

​

Using CLI

1. Enable versioning for S3 buckets:

   • Command: aws s3api put-bucket-versioning --bucket <bucket-name> --versioning-configuration Status=Enabled

2. Restrict public access to S3 buckets:

   • Command: aws s3api put-public-access-block --bucket <bucket-name> --public-access-block-configuration "BlockPublicAcls=true,IgnorePublicAcls=true,BlockPublicPolicy=true,RestrictPublicBuckets=true"

3. Enable server-side encryption for S3 buckets:

   • Command: aws s3api put-bucket-encryption --bucket <bucket-name> --server-side-encryption-configuration '{"Rules": [{"ApplyServerSideEncryptionByDefault": {"SSEAlgorithm": "AES256"}}]}'

​

Using Python

1. Enable server-side encryption for S3 buckets:
   • Use the boto3 library in Python to interact with AWS services.
   • Use the put_bucket_encryption method to enable server-side encryption for an S3 bucket.
   • Specify the encryption configuration with the appropriate encryption algorithm and key.

import boto3

def enable_s3_bucket_encryption(bucket_name):
    s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
    encryption_config = {
        'Rules': [
            {
                'ApplyServerSideEncryptionByDefault': {
                    'SSEAlgorithm': 'AES256'
                }
            }
        ]
    }
    s3_client.put_bucket_encryption(
        Bucket=bucket_name,
        ServerSideEncryptionConfiguration=encryption_config
    )

2. Enable versioning for S3 buckets:
   • Use the boto3 library in Python to interact with AWS services.
   • Use the put_bucket_versioning method to enable versioning for an S3 bucket.

import boto3

def enable_s3_bucket_versioning(bucket_name):
    s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
    s3_client.put_bucket_versioning(
        Bucket=bucket_name,
        VersioningConfiguration={
            'Status': 'Enabled'
        }
    )

3. Enable logging for S3 buckets:
   • Use the boto3 library in Python to interact with AWS services.
   • Use the put_bucket_logging method to enable logging for an S3 bucket.
   • Specify the target bucket and prefix for the log files.

import boto3

def enable_s3_bucket_logging(bucket_name, target_bucket, target_prefix):
    s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
    s3_client.put_bucket_logging(
        Bucket=bucket_name,
        BucketLoggingStatus={
            'LoggingEnabled': {
                'TargetBucket': target_bucket,
                'TargetPrefix': target_prefix
            }
        }
    )
}
