  "summary" : "@hulumi/policies bypasses IAM-role policy checks when the role trusts multiple OIDC providers",
  "details" : "**Affected:** `@hulumi/policies` `< 1.4.0` — **Fixed in:** `1.4.0` — **Severity:** High — **CWE-697 (Incorrect Comparison)**\n\n#### Summary\n\nAWS IAM trust policies can list more than one federated identity provider — for example, a role that accepts BOTH GitHub Actions OIDC and Google's OIDC. The `G_OIDC_1` and `G_OIDC_2` policy rules are supposed to flag IAM roles whose GitHub-OIDC trust is too permissive (e.g. wildcard `sub:` conditions that would let any branch or any pull request assume the role).\n\nThe bug: when the role's `Principal.Federated` field was a JSON array of multiple providers, the rules failed to recognise that GitHub Actions was one of them. The providers list was coerced into a single comma-joined string, the matcher only looked at the start, and the GitHub OIDC hostname was lost in the join. Both rules concluded \"this isn't a GitHub-OIDC role\" and skipped the wildcard check.\n\n#### Impact\n\nA trust policy that listed the real GitHub OIDC provider ARN alongside any second provider would slip past both detectors. Consumers using `HulumiHardeningPack` or `HulumiGithubHardeningPack` could ship an IAM role with wildcard `sub:` conditions (allowing untrusted PRs from forks to assume the role) while their policy validation reported the stack as compliant. The G_OIDC_2 detector also failed to mark such roles for the cluster-admin / `AdministratorAccess` blast-radius check.\n\n#### Patches\n\nUpgrade to `@hulumi/policies@1.4.0`. The shared GitHub-OIDC-provider matcher now correctly walks lists of providers — if any element of the list is the real GitHub OIDC ARN, the role is treated as GitHub-OIDC-assumable and the wildcard / blast-radius checks apply.\n\n#### Workarounds\n\nNone reliable — upgrade is the fix.\n\n#### Resources\n\n- [PR #178](https://github.com/kerberosmansour/hulumi/pull/178) (Cluster A); regression tests at `packages/policies/tests/github/{g-oidc-2,github-oidc-issuer}.test.ts`.",
