CVE-2026-48035

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/baseline@1.4.0". 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.
