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 switch off security monitoring
Can delete VPC flow logs, which is how an intruder hides.
ec2:DeleteFlowLogs
Use with caution: Deny these actions with an SCP for everyone outside a break-glass role, so no single policy can blind you.
Medium
Can rewrite resource policies and sharing
Grants 3 permissions management actions across 1 service (ec2) on any resource, enough to share resources outside the account.
ec2:createnetworkinterfacepermissionec2:deletenetworkinterfacepermissionec2:modifyvpcendpointservicepermissions
Use with caution: Turn on IAM Access Analyzer external access findings, and keep account-level guards like S3 Block Public Access enabled.
