Which privilege escalation methods does this skill check for?

It covers 21+ methods including iam:CreatePolicyVersion, iam:PassRole with Lambda/EC2, unsafe cross-account trust relationships, and administrative policy attachments.

Can this skill help with principle of least privilege compliance?

Yes, by identifying over-privileged roles and potential attack paths, it provides the necessary insights to refine IAM policies to meet least privilege standards.

Is this skill intended for unauthorized testing?

No. This skill is strictly for authorized security assessments. You must have explicit written permission before testing any AWS account or environment.

What tools are required to use this skill effectively?

You will need the AWS CLI, Pacu, CloudFox, and Principal Mapper (PMapper) installed and configured with authorized test credentials.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Identifies and validates AWS IAM misconfigurations to uncover potential privilege escalation paths using industry-standard security tools.

This skill provides a structured framework for performing authorized security assessments of AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) configurations. It guides users through the process of enumerating baseline permissions, utilizing automated scanners like Pacu and CloudFox, and mapping complex relationship graphs with Principal Mapper to identify critical vulnerabilities such as unauthorized administrative access, confused deputy risks, and cross-account trust issues. Ideal for penetration testers and cloud security engineers, it ensures that IAM policies strictly adhere to the principle of least privilege while providing actionable remediation strategies and standardized reporting templates.
