+description: This search looks for CloudTrail events where a user created a policy version that allows them to access any resource in their account
+search: '`cloudtrail` eventName=CreatePolicyVersion eventSource = iam.amazonaws.com
+| spath input=requestParameters.policyDocument output=key_policy_statements path=Statement{} 
+| mvexpand key_policy_statements 
+| spath input=key_policy_statements output=key_policy_action_1 path=Action 
+| search key_policy_action_1 = "*" 
+| stats count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime values(key_policy_statements) by eventName eventSource aws_account_id errorCode http_user_agent
+    eventID awsRegion userIdentity.principalId user_arn
+| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` 
+| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`| `aws_create_policy_version_to_allow_all_resources_filter`'
+how_to_implement: You must install splunk AWS add on and Splunk App for AWS. This
+  search works with cloudtrail logs.
+known_false_positives: While this search has no known false positives, it is possible
+  that an AWS admin has legitimately created a policy to allow a user to access all resources. That said, AWS strongly advises against granting full control to all AWS resources
