Summary
Resource policies lacked a way of restricting service access to only your
own account, allowing an attacker to leverage a service to potentially access
your resources. Originally discovered by Dan Peebles and presented at re:Invent
in 2018, this issue did not gain enough attention to be fixed until Shir Tamari
and Ami Luttwak from Wiz presented it at Black Hat 2021.
