AWSCloudTrail - Creation of new CRUD IAM policy and then privilege escalation
Description
Identifies creation of IAM policies that grant broad IAM CRUD permissions, followed by attachment of that policy to a user, role, or group. This pattern may indicate an attempt to establish or expand
privileged access and should be reviewed as potential privilege escalation.
