PEI-008 Undefined Policy Action Exploitation

Policy Enforcement Integrity: Attacks that bypass policy enforcement via threshold fallbacks, config file injection, or parser error paths that fail open

Description

Tests if an unrecognized action type in policy rules results in implicit allow instead of deny

Remediation

Policy engines must use explicit allowlisting, not denylisting. Any action type not explicitly recognized must be treated as DENY. Unhandled enum values must terminate in DENY.
