Stax has changed how Rules relating to S3 buckets being publicly open are evaluated by including the FULL_CONTROL**is not granted to groupsAllUsers**orAllAuthenticatedUsers check.

If you observe buckets that were previously compliant now showing as non-compliant, it is likely due to the stricter requirement for the bucket to meet the additional control described above. For more information and remediation, visit S3 Buckets shouldn't be Publicly Open.
