The risk isn’t internal nefarious actors, it’s internal people who don’t know or don’t care that they’re granting privilege escalation to a wider audience.
And zero trust is the only way to mitigate that. There are so many bad security takes in this discussion and I’ve barely read half of it. This isn’t an ignorant community. The implication is that every slightly or significantly bad take is compounded by culture and organizational ignorance.
The only solution is systems that can’t be accessed by humans by design. And building better reporting and isolated debugging tools to accommodate that.
