What CGPulse checks
A resource passes this rule when loggingEnabled must equal true. Anything else is reported as a finding with the evaluated property value attached as evidence.
How to fix it
Enable server access logging to detect unauthorized bucket access. In AWS Console: S3 > Bucket > Properties > Server access logging > Enable. See: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/ServerLogs.html
Terraform
resource "aws_s3_bucket_logging" "{name}" {
bucket = aws_s3_bucket.{name}.id
target_bucket = aws_s3_bucket.log_bucket.id
target_prefix = "access-logs/"
}
