Risk

Medium

The same capabilities in a scoped form, resource policy writes, reads across all data, or full access to a whole service. Read from this policy document alone: trust policies, boundaries and SCPs in your account still decide what actually succeeds. How this is assessed

Medium
Can rewrite resource policies and sharing
Grants 2 permissions management actions across 1 service (resource-explorer-2) on any resource, enough to share resources outside the account.
resource-explorer-2:deleteresourcepolicyresource-explorer-2:putresourcepolicy
Use with caution: Turn on IAM Access Analyzer external access findings, and keep account-level guards like S3 Block Public Access enabled.
Medium
Full resource-explorer-2 access on every resource
Uses resource-explorer-2:* with Resource "*" and no condition, so every action AWS adds to that service later is granted too.
resource-explorer-2:*
Use with caution: The grant grows every time the service does. For long-lived access, prefer a policy that lists the actions you actually need.
