Confidence Level Low
Impact Level Low
Likelihood Level Low

Description

The IAM policy grants full administrative access ('Action' and 'Resource' set to '*'), allowing any action on any AWS resource. This violates the principle of least privilege and exposes the account to excessive risk.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker or compromised user could take complete control of all AWS resources, including deleting data, modifying configurations, or escalating privileges, potentially resulting in total compromise of the cloud environment.
