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 launch resources that run as a more privileged role

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

    • cognitoidentity-001iam:PassRole + cognito-identity:SetIdentityPoolRolesscoped
      • iam:PassRole: condition iam:PassedToService, on arn:aws:iam::*:role/RUM-Monitor*

    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.

  • Medium

    Full rum access on every resource

    Uses rum:* with Resource "*" and no condition, so every action AWS adds to that service later is granted too.

    rum:*

    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.
