A developer asks you to review their web application that runs on EC2. They built a feature that fetches and displays content from URLs submitted by users. You notice the EC2 instance has an IAM role attached with S3 access. Why might this combination be concerning, and how would you explain the risk to the developer?
During an Azure pentest you discover the target has resources in both classic and modern deployment models. Walk through how this affects your enumeration approach, and what attack surface the legacy model exposes that ARM addresses.
