LOW

Description

Invalid condition operator. Make sure a valid condition operator is used.

Remediation

In AWS Console -

  1. Sign in to the AWS console and go to the IAM console.
  2. In the Navigation pane, select Policies.
  3. In the list of policies, select the policy to edit.
  4. Select the Permissions tab, and then choose Edit policy.
  5. On the review page, review the changes and click Save.

In Terraform -

  1. In the aws_iam_policy, aws_iam_role_policy, aws_iam_group_policy, and aws_iam_user_policy resources, edit the policy field so that the allowed Action list and/or Principal have appropriate values rather than a wildcard.
  2. Update the Resource ARN list to use specific IDs with valid regions rather than a wildcard.
  3. When using a Condition statement, ensure a valid operator is chosen.
    For more information on how to effectively write an IAM policy, including all of the available operators for a Condition block, see the AWS and Terraform documentation.
