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 take over existing resources that run as another role

    Grants the actions of 1 documented escalation path, but only on named resources or under a condition. Review that scope before trusting it.

    • ssm-002ssm:SendCommandscoped
      • ssm:SendCommand: on arn:*:ssm:*:*:document/AWSSystemsManagerSAP-*, arn:*:ssm:*:*:document/AWSSSMSAP*, arn:*:ssm:*:*:document/AWSSAP*

    Use with caution: Check which roles, users or policies fall inside the scope shown above. Within it the escalation works as documented, so keep privileged principals out of it.

  • Warning / TYPE_MISMATCH

    Use the operator type String, Numeric instead of operator ARN for the condition key aws:RequestTag/awsApplication. AWS docs
