Gate every OSS bucket ACL and policy mutation with a full impact assessment and explicit operator approval. Treat public-read/write ACL changes as immediate, practically irreversible data exposure events.</p>\n<h2>When to Use</h2>\n<p>Use this skill when:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>An OSS bucket ACL is being changed (private → public-read, public-read-write, or any permissive setting)</li>\n<li>An OSS bucket policy is being created, modified, or deleted</li>\n<li>Cross-region replication rules are being configured or modified for CN-* buckets</li>\n<li>Object ownership settings or CORS policies are being changed on production buckets</li>\n<li>A bucket lifecycle policy is being modified in ways that affect object access</li>\n<li>An operator needs to audit current bucket ACL and policy before a mutation</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>When NOT to Use</h2>\n<p>Do not use this skill when:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The task is a read-only OSS bucket audit with no mutation intent</li>\n<li>The task involves object-level operations (upload, download, delete objects) rather than bucket-level policy changes</li>\n<li>The task involves only OSS lifecycle policies that do not affect access control</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Key Risk Facts</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>OSS ACL <code>public-read-write</code></strong> exposes all objects immediately to any internet user. Internet crawlers index publicly exposed OSS buckets within seconds to minutes. Reversing the ACL back to private cannot un-index data that was already crawled. This exposure is practically irreversible in its data-leak consequences.</li>\n<li><strong>OSS ACL <code>public-read</code></strong> makes all objects readable by the internet. Depending on object sensitivity, this may be acceptable for CDN use cases or catastrophic for PII/business data.</li>\n<li><em><em>Cross-border replication from CN-</em> to international regions</em>* requires a completed CAC Data Security Law (DSL) Article 31 security assessment. Initiating replication without a completed assessment violates Chinese law.</li>\n<li><strong>Bucket policy deletion</strong> removes all fine-grained access controls, potentially expanding access to all authenticated Alibaba Cloud users depending on ACL settings.</li>\n<li><strong>All mutations</strong> require the 6-step live-guard gate.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Pre-Flight Checklist</h2>\n<p>Before executing any OSS bucket ACL or policy mutation, verify all of the following:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Bucket identity confirmed</strong> — confirm the exact bucket name, region, and owner account. Run <code>aliyun oss stat oss://&lt;BUCKET&gt;</code> or use the OSS Console to confirm bucket metadata.</li>\n<li><strong>Current ACL and policy captured</strong> — document the current bucket ACL and bucket policy before any change. This is the rollback baseline.</li>\n<li><strong>Object sensitivity assessed</strong> — estimate the classification and sensitivity of objects stored in this bucket. Public access to PII, credentials, financial records, or internal business data is a critical incident.</li>\n<li><strong>Cross-border replication check</strong> — if the bucket is in a CN-* region and replication targets an international region, DSL Article 31 assessment must be completed first.</li>\n<li><strong>Blast radius assessed</strong> — how many objects are in scope? what services or users depend on the current access model? what applications will break if access changes?</li>\n<li><strong>Rollback plan confirmed</strong> — document the exact prior ACL and policy for immediate restoration if needed.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Required Confirmation</h2>\n<p>The operator must explicitly state all of the following before any mutation is executed:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\"I confirm the bucket is <code>&lt;BUCKET_NAME&gt;</code> in region <code>&lt;REGION&gt;</code> in account <code>&lt;ACCOUNT_ID&gt;</code>.\"</li>\n<li>\"I have reviewed the current ACL (<code>&lt;CURRENT_ACL&gt;</code>) and policy and the proposed change is <code>&lt;SPECIFIC_CHANGE&gt;</code>.\"</li>\n<li>\"I have assessed the data sensitivity of objects in this bucket: <code>&lt;ASSESSMENT&gt;</code>.\"</li>\n<li>\"I understand the blast radius of this change: <code>&lt;DESCRIPTION&gt;</code>.\"</li>\n<li>For public-read or public-read-write ACL: \"I understand that internet crawlers may index exposed data within seconds and that this exposure cannot be reversed for already-crawled data. I accept this risk.\"</li>\n<li>For CN-* cross-border replication: \"I confirm a completed DSL Article 31 assessment is on file for this data transfer.\"</li>\n<li>\"I approve this OSS bucket ACL/policy change.\"</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Execution Steps</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Capture pre-change bucket state: <code>aliyun oss stat oss://&lt;BUCKET&gt;</code> and policy output.</li>\n<li>Present the planned change, current ACL/policy, and blast radius to the operator for explicit approval.</li>\n<li>Execute the mutation:\n<ul>\n<li>Set ACL: <code>aliyun oss set-acl oss://&lt;BUCKET&gt; &lt;ACL&gt;</code> or via OSS Console.</li>\n<li>Set bucket policy: via OSS Console &gt; Bucket &gt; Permissions &gt; Bucket Policy, or Alibaba Cloud OSS API.</li>\n<li>Configure replication: via OSS Console &gt; Bucket &gt; Data Replication, with DSL assessment confirmed.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n<li>Confirm the new ACL and policy are in effect.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Rollback Procedure</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ACL change</strong> (reversible): Restore the previous ACL immediately — <code>aliyun oss set-acl oss://&lt;BUCKET&gt; private</code>. Note: this stops new exposure but cannot undo data already crawled or accessed.</li>\n<li><strong>Bucket policy change</strong> (reversible): Restore the prior policy document via OSS Console or API.</li>\n<li><strong>Cross-border replication</strong> (reversible): Disable the replication rule via OSS Console; note that objects already replicated to the destination remain there.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Post-Change Verification</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Confirm new ACL is in effect: <code>aliyun oss stat oss://&lt;BUCKET&gt;</code>.</li>\n<li>Confirm bucket policy reflects the intended rules.</li>\n<li>Test access from an unauthorized principal to verify the access model matches intent.</li>\n<li>Check ActionTrail for the bucket mutation event.</li>\n<li>For public exposure: monitor OSS access logs for unexpected crawler traffic.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Response Shape</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Bucket name, region, and account confirmed</li>\n<li>Current ACL and policy captured</li>\n<li>Data sensitivity and blast radius assessment</li>\n<li>Cross-border replication DSL assessment status (if applicable)</li>\n<li>Operator confirmation received</li>\n<li>Execution confirmation</li>\n<li>Post-change verification results</li>\n</ol>\n","files":[{"path":"metadata.json","sizeBytes":856,"isText":true},{"path":"references/official-sources.md","sizeBytes":520,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflow-and-output.md","sizeBytes":1784,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":6283,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
