Description

The internet-facing asset {AwsEc2Instance} ({AwsEc2Instance.InstanceId}) was found to have broad access to S3 via its Instance Profile ({AwsEc2Instance.InstanceProfile}). Access is considered too broad if the instance is given permissions to all S3 Actions (s3:*) or all S3 Resources (arn:aws:s3:::*).
