Find and prove misconfigured cloud object storage (S3/GCS/Azure Blob). Load when assets load from *.s3.amazonaws.com, storage.googleapis.com, *.blob.core.windows.net, bucket-looking hostnames, or "bucket". Signals: public-read/list, unauthenticated writes, predictable bucket names.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Cloud object-storage misconfiguration
When it applies
The app stores files in S3/GCS/Azure Blob and the bucket's ACL/policy is too open — public listing, public read of private objects, or (worst) unauthenticated write.
Why it works
Object-storage ACLs are easy to get wrong: "public" gets applied at the bucket level, or an
IAM policy grants s3:ListBucket/GetObject/PutObject to *. Predictable names
(companyname-backups, -assets, -dev) make discovery trivial.
Method
- Find bucket names: from asset URLs, JS, DNS CNAMEs, and permutations of the org name
(
company,company-prod,company-backups, region suffixes). - Test list/read (S3):
aws s3 ls s3://bucket --no-sign-request(list) andaws s3 cp s3://bucket/file . --no-sign-request(read).--no-sign-request= anonymous. - Test write (high impact, do carefully & in scope):
aws s3 cp poc.txt s3://bucket/ --no-sign-request— a successful anonymous write is critical (defacement/malware hosting). - GCS/Azure:
gsutil ls gs://bucket/ anonymous HTTPSGET; Azure?comp=liston the container. - Scale carefully with
s3scanner/gcpbucketbruteon name lists — respect scope & rate.
Gotchas
- 403 on the bucket root ≠ safe — individual objects may still be public; test known object paths.
- Anonymous write is the crown jewel but easy to over-test — upload one harmless marker, then stop.
- Region matters for the endpoint; a wrong region gives misleading 301/403.
Verify success
Anonymous listing/read of non-public objects, or a successful anonymous write of a harmless proof file (then remove it). Capture the exact command + response.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
