Description
The Service account '{GcpIamServiceAccount}' has an IAM policy containing permissions that allow privilege escalation, at the project level. The existing permissions allow the service account to impersonate another service account, with higher permissions than their own. The service account can then utilize that to perform API calls that the service account may not be authorized to perform. The role containing these permissions is '{GcpIamServiceAccount.PolicyBindings.Role}'
