S3 bucket misconfiguration

S3 bucket misconfiguration

A known example is where an Amazon S3 bucket is misconfigured, although the other cloud storage services may also be exposed to similar risks. By default, all S3 buckets are private and can be accessed only by users that are explicitly granted access. Users can grant public access to both the bucket itself and to individual objects stored within that bucket. This may lead to an unauthorized user being able to upload new files, modify or read stored files.
