No Wildcards In Policy Documents

AWS SQS policy document has wildcard action statement.

SQS Policy actions should always be restricted to a specific set.

This ensures that the queue itself cannot be modified or deleted, and prevents possible future additions to queue actions to be implicitly allowed.

Impact

SQS policies with wildcard actions allow more that is required

Follow the appropriate remediation steps below to resolve the issue.

Keep policy scope to the minimum that is required to be effective
