Description
This code assigns a folder-level IAM role to a Google Cloud default service account. Default service accounts have broad permissions and are not intended for granular access control.
Impact
If exploited, attackers or unauthorized users could abuse the over-privileged default service account to access or modify resources across all projects under the folder, increasing the risk of privilege escalation and data exposure.
