Description

Policies with wildcard actions can perform all actions on the configured resources.

How to fix?

Set statement.action attribute to specific actions, e.g. s3:ListBucket.

Example configuration:

data "aws_iam_policy_document" "allowed_no_wildcard" {
  statement {
    effect = "Allow"
    actions = [
      "s3:ListBucket",
    ]
  }
}
