Risk Level: Low
Cloud Entity: Simple Storage Service (S3)
CloudGuard Rule ID: D9.AWS.IAM.43
Category: Storage

GSL LOGIC

S3Bucket should have versioning.mfaDelete=true

REMEDIATION

You can not perform Enable MFA Delete through AWS Management Console, this is required to use the AWS CLI or API. You can perform MFA Delete on S3 buckets using 'root' account only. Use following steps to enable MFA delete on an S3 bucket.

From TF

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "test" {
	bucket = "my-tf-test-bucket"
	acl    = "private"
	
	tags = {
		Name        = "My bucket"
		Environment = "Dev"
	}
	
	+ versioning {
		enabled = true
		+ mfa_delete = true
	+ }
}

From Command Line
Using the AWS s3api CLI, enable MFA Delete for the S3 buckets that fail this rule, for example:

aws s3api put-bucket-versioning --bucket BUCKET_NAME --versioning-configuration Status=Enabled,MFADelete=Enabled --mfa 'arn:aws:iam::aws_account_id:mfa/root-account-mfa-device pass code'
