I’m not sure if this is a recent update but my .htaccess in Akismet has this;
# This configuration has been moved to the /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/htaccess/wordpress-htaccess.conf config file for performance and security reasons
I had to add akismet-frontend\.js to the FilesMatch in /opt/bitnami/apache/conf/vhosts/htaccess/wordpress-htaccess.conf to fix the 403 error.
