Problem

Analyze a JSON document containing misconfigured STS access permissions and AWS ARNs, and identify the security vulnerabilities or permission flaws.

Asked in the CoderPad Interview stage. The CoderPad round tested the candidate's ability to review JSON configuration files for insecure AWS STS access settings and incorrect ARN scope.

Review this document and explain each finding, its impact, and the corrected policy:

{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Principal":"*","Action":"sts:AssumeRole","Resource":"arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/ProdDeploy","Condition":{"StringLike":{"aws:PrincipalArn":"arn:aws:iam::*:role/Deploy*"}}},{"Effect":"Allow","Action":["s3:GetObject","s3:PutObject"],"Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::prod-artifacts"}]}
