ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
While reviewing a new SaaS environment, you find that an Amazon S3 bucket used to store customer invoices is world-readable because the default "Block Public Access" settings were manually disabled. No other flaws are present. According to the OWASP Top-10 2021 list, which risk category best describes this vulnerability?
A publicly readable cloud storage bucket is the direct result of an incorrect or missing security control in the service configuration. The OWASP Top-10 2021 places cloud resource misconfigurations, overly permissive defaults, and similar issues under the Security Misconfiguration category (A05:2021). Broken Access Control focuses on flaws in authorization logic, Cryptographic Failures address improper protection of data through encryption, and Vulnerable and Outdated Components cover unpatched software libraries or platforms-all different from an exposed bucket created by a faulty configuration choice.
