GHSA-4xrh-5m3m-328w: @hulumi/policies: CIS 1.16 admin policy bypass for inline and attached IAM policies

May 21, 2026

Impact: @hulumi/policies versions before 1.3.2 did not fully inspect inline and attached IAM policy evidence for the administrator-policy guardrail, so some admin-equivalent policy paths could pass policy evaluation.

Patched in 1.3.2: the validator inspects the affected policy shapes and includes regression tests.

Remediation: upgrade @hulumi/policies to 1.3.2 or later.
