AWS lightsail: Document isPrivateOriginAccessEnabled for distribution origin

Service: lightsail · 2026-09-27 · Documentation medium

File: lightsail/2016-11-28/api-reference/API_Origin.md · Type: authz

Summary

Added documentation for the isPrivateOriginAccessEnabled boolean that controls whether a distribution can serve non-public objects from a Lightsail bucket.

Security assessment

Documents an access-control feature governing whether private bucket objects can be served via a distribution, which is security-relevant configuration guidance but not a fix for a specific vulnerability.

Evidence

Specifies whether private origin access is enabled for the distribution's origin. With private origin access, the distribution can serve objects that aren't publicly accessible from a Lightsail bucket.
