Post Exploitation

As far as I know there is no direct way to escalate privileges in AWS just by having some AWS dynamodb permissions. You can read sensitive information from the tables (which could contain AWS credentials) and write information on the tables (which could trigger other vulnerabilities, like lambda code injections...) but all these options are already considered in the DynamoDB Post Exploitation page:

{% content-ref url="../aws-post-exploitation/aws-dynamodb-post-exploitation.md" %} aws-dynamodb-post-exploitation.md {% endcontent-ref %}
