Description

Affected: `@hulumi/baseline` `< 1.4.0` — Fixed in: `1.4.0` — Severity: High — CWE-1059 (Insufficient Technical Documentation / Behavioral Inconsistency) Summary The S3 bucket that `AccountFoundation` creates to receive CloudTrail and AWS Config audit logs is meant to be tamper-resistant — if someone with delete access can erase from it, the forensic trail is gone. There were three independent ways the protection could be silently weakened: 1. No Write-Once-Read-Many on the startup-hardened audit bucket. The startup-hardened tier hard-coded `objectLock: false` on the audit bucket. (The reason was real — bucket-wide Object Lock blocks an AWS Config write-then-delete probe — but the fix was a sledgehammer that disabled WORM for all objects, not just the probe key.) 2. `forceDestroy` was forwarded to the audit bucket. Nothing prevented a downstream stack from setting `logBucketForceDestroy: true`, which made `pulumi destroy` purge every audit-log object on teardown. 3. Sandbox tier dropped everything. Sandbox-tier `AccountFoundation` created its audit bucket with `tier: "sandbox"`, which skipped Object Lock, server access logging, AND the CloudTrail-Lake `EventDataStore` (the independent immutable mirror) — leaving sandbox accounts with no audit immutability at all. Impact Consumers using `AccountFoundation` could ship an AWS account whose CloudTrail / Config audit logs were deletable by any S3-delete-capable principal — while believing the startup-hardened tier guaranteed tamper-resistance. Sandbox-tier deployments had no audit immutability at all (defects 1 and 3 compounded). Patches Upgrade to `@hulumi/[email protected]`. A single invariant in `SecureBucket` now fires whenever the bucket actually backs CloudTrail/Config delivery (i.e. `awsServiceLogDelivery.cloudTrail === true || .config === true`): • refuses `forceDestroy: true` on the startup-hardened tier; • emits the CloudTrail-Lake `EventDataStore` regardless of parent tier (so sandbox accounts regain immutable audit capture); • adds a deny-`s3:DeleteObject*` bucket-policy statement scoped to the CloudTrail and Config history/snapshot prefixes (a retention floor on the audit objects). The deny excludes the AWS Config `ConfigWritabilityCheckFile` probe key so Config's write-then-delete still works, which is why bucket-wide Object Lock is intentionally NOT re-enabled. Workarounds Replicating audit logs out-of-account to an Object-Locked archive bucket partially mitigates while you upgrade. Resources • PR #178 (Cluster C); see CHANGELOG `### Migration` for the `forceDestroy` behaviour change.
