name: SAP BTP - Cloud Integration access policy tampering
description: |
  Identifies changes to access policies in SAP Cloud Integration. Access policies control
  authorization for integration artifacts, defining which users and roles can access specific
  integration flows and related content.
  
  Unauthorized access policy manipulation could indicate:
  - Attacker granting themselves access to sensitive integration artifacts
  - Removal of security controls to enable further malicious activity
  - Defense evasion by modifying artifact references to hide unauthorized access
