God-Mode in the Shadows: When Security Tools and Excessive Permissions Become Cloud Security Risks

**Executive Summary:** This report warns that SSPM/DSPM tools granted excessive "god-mode" permissions can become single points of failure—silently indexing and duplicating secrets to vendor infrastructure and enabling large-scale exfiltration; it cites a Mitiga investigation where a DSPM pulled vault secrets (and a crawler performed 20,000+ fetches/day) and references a Snowflake breach impacting many organizations, then provides IOAs, pseudo-code for detecting suspicious vault access, and a mitigation checklist (least privilege scopes, time-boxed tokens, scope monitoring, and blocking write/admin APIs).
