Mapped Threats
| ID | Title | Description | External Mappings | Capability Mappings | Control Mappings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CCC.IAM.TH01 | Valid Cloud Credentials Abuse | Valid identity credentials such as access keys, tokens or passwords are misused or compromised. Examples include public exposure, token theft, unprotected metadata service of a compromised compute instance or brute-force attacks. The use of these credentials can provide unauthorized access to the cloud environment, potentially bypassing other security controls and enabling lateral movement across cloud resources. | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CCC.IAM.TH02 | Overly-Permissive IAM Policy | An access control policy attached to an identity or a resource is configured with excessive permissions, violating the principle of least privilege. This can enable unauthorized data access, privilege escalation, or other unintended actions by principals whose credentials might be compromised or who are acting erroneously. | 1 | 1 | 0 |
