Thanx for sharing!

What if pre-signed URL is leaked, you cannot invalidate a pre-signed URL without rotating credentials or changing bucket policies, right?

I was thinking about signed cookies or API gateways type of solutions.


You're right. Pre-signed URLs can’t be revoked once issued, but one way to mitigate the risk is by setting a short expiration time when generating them. For example, if the URL is only valid for 5-10 minutes, it remains secure, and the risk of misuse is minimal.
