S3 bucket disables all public access blocks, exposing more than the intended dashboard prefix

highsecurityhigh

infra/stack.py:41-60

The bucket is also used for `geo-signals/feedback.csv` (potentially sensitive trading signal/feedback data) and is granted broad read by the Lambda. By turning off all four S3 Block Public Access controls AND attaching a public-read bucket policy, the bucket is now susceptible to any future bucket-policy or ACL mistake exposing non-dashboard prefixes (e.g., `geo-signals/*`). The intent (comment) is only to expose `dashboard/*`, but the configuration removes the safety net that would normally prevent accidental broader exposure. Only `block_public_policy=False` and `restrict_public_buckets=False` are required to permit the dashboard/* policy; disabling ACL blocks is unnecessary and weakens defense-in-depth.

Recommendation

Keep `block_public_acls=True` and `ignore_public_acls=True`; only set `block_public_policy=False` and `restrict_public_buckets=False` since the public access is granted via bucket policy (not ACL). Consider splitting public dashboard assets into a separate bucket from feedback/state data.

S3 BlockPublicAccess fully disabled enables unintended public exposure via ACLs/policies

All four S3 Block Public Access flags are set to False. While the bucket policy does scope public read to dashboard/*, disabling ignore_public_acls and block_public_acls allows ACL-based public access and grants the possibility of broader exposure through ACLs or future policies. Best practice is to keep ACLs blocked/ignored and rely on a narrowly-scoped bucket policy for the required prefix.

Recommendation

Harden Block Public Access: set block_public_acls=True and ignore_public_acls=True to prevent any ACL-based exposure while leaving block_public_policy=False and restrict_public_buckets=False only if you must allow the dashboard/* public policy. Alternatively, keep all four flags at their secure defaults and use a scoped bucket policy for dashboard/* plus a condition (e.g., aws:Referer or IP allowlist) if feasible.
