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.

    • glue-007iam:PassRole + glue:CreateSession + glue:RunStatementscoped
      • iam:PassRole: condition iam:PassedToService, on arn:aws:iam::*:role/service-role/AwsGlueSessionServiceRoleUserRestrictedForNotebook*, arn:aws:iam::*:role/AwsGlueSessionUserRestrictedNotebookServiceRole*
      • glue:CreateSession: condition aws:RequestTag/owner, aws:TagKeys, on arn:aws:glue:*:*:session/*
      • glue:RunStatement: condition aws:ResourceTag/owner, on arn:aws:glue:*:*:session/*

    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.
