auditing-s3-object-ownership-trust

auditing-s3-object-ownership-trust is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 175 tokens per session (1,932 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security audit for Amazon S3 object storage, where buckets hold files and each file can have its own owner and access rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it on buckets with cross-account or third-party uploads to check file ownership, object access controls, and unintended public or external access.
Why use it?
A bucket policy may look restrictive while files uploaded by another account remain owned by that account or have separate access permissions. The audit finds access that central bucket rules do not cover.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

auditing-s3-object-ownership-trust scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Auditing S3 object-ownership trust: when the object, not the bucket, decides access

Object stores let access be decided in more than one place, and that is where ownership trust breaks. A bucket policy is the central control most teams reason about, but each object also has an owner and, unless disabled, its own ACL, and a cross-account upload can land an object owned by the uploader rather than the bucket owner. The result is objects the bucket owner cannot fully control, ACLs that grant access the bucket policy meant to deny, and public grants riding on individual objects under a bucket that looks private. When a bucket receives objects from more than one principal, central governance is an assumption, not a fact. You audit these by checking who owns each object, whether object ACLs are still in force, and whether any object grants access the bucket policy did not intend.

When to use

  • A bucket receives objects from more than one principal, including cross-account or third-party writers.
  • Access is meant to be governed centrally by the bucket policy, but object ACLs may still be enabled.
  • Cross-account writes may land objects the bucket owner does not own or cannot fully read or control.

Scope check

Audit object ownership only in buckets and accounts you own or are authorized to assess, on non-production data. Confirming access reads or controls real objects, so stay inside the authorized bucket and treat any object contents as sensitive within scope. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Establish the intended access model first. Name who should read and control the objects in this bucket and how it is meant to be enforced: central bucket policy, single owner. This is the false-positive killer: a bucket with ownership enforced to the bucket owner and object ACLs disabled, governed only by the bucket policy, is correct. Name the intended model, then check whether ownership and ACLs match it.

  2. Determine object ownership across writers. For objects written by more than one principal, confirm who owns each. A cross-account upload can retain the uploader's ownership, leaving objects the bucket owner cannot fully control. Check whether bucket-owner-enforced ownership is set so every object is owned centrally, or whether uploader ownership persists.
