GCP primitive role roles/editor granted

mediumCloud IAMiac-iam

What it detects

`roles/editor` is a broad primitive role granting write access to almost all resources. Prefer predefined or custom roles scoped to the task.

Remediation

Replace `roles/editor` with narrower predefined role(s).

How it runs

Run against JSON/YAML/source files. AWS IAM rules require a policy-document context (Statement + Effect); GCP primitive roles are matched anywhere. HCL is left to the Terraform layer.
