Mapped every skill to NIST CSF 2.0 subcategory IDs (GV/ID/PR/DE/RS/RC functions) based on subdomain and content analysis. Restores 11 skills corrupted during prior rebase, re-enriching with ATLAS, D3FEND, NIST AI RMF, and CSF 2.0 fields. All 754 skills now carry structured mappings for all 5 security frameworks: - MITRE ATT&CK (in tags) - MITRE ATLAS v5.5 (atlas_techniques) - MITRE D3FEND v1.3 (d3fend_techniques) - NIST AI RMF 1.0 (nist_ai_rmf) - NIST CSF 2.0 (nist_csf)

# Detecting AWS IAM Privilege Escalation
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This skill uses boto3 and Cloudsplaining-style analysis to identify IAM privilege escalation paths in AWS accounts. It downloads the account authorization details, analyzes each policy for dangerous permission combinations (iam:PassRole + lambda:CreateFunction, iam:CreatePolicyVersion, sts:AssumeRole), and flags policies that violate least-privilege principles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## When to Use
|
|
|
|
- When investigating security incidents that require detecting aws iam privilege escalation
|
|
- When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain
|
|
- When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type
|
|
- When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Python 3.8+ with boto3 library
|
|
- AWS credentials with IAM read-only access (iam:GetAccountAuthorizationDetails)
|
|
- Optional: cloudsplaining Python package for HTML report generation
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
|
|
1. **Download IAM Authorization Details** — Call iam:GetAccountAuthorizationDetails to retrieve all users, groups, roles, and policies
|
|
2. **Analyze Policies for Privilege Escalation** — Check each policy for known escalation permission combinations
|
|
3. **Identify Wildcard Resource Policies** — Flag policies using Resource: "*" with dangerous actions
|
|
4. **Map Principal-to-Policy Relationships** — Build a graph of which principals can access which escalation paths
|
|
5. **Score and Prioritize Findings** — Rank findings by severity based on escalation vector type
|
|
6. **Generate Report** — Produce structured JSON report with remediation guidance
|
|
|
|
## Expected Output
|
|
|
|
- JSON report of privilege escalation findings with severity scores
|
|
- List of dangerous permission combinations per principal
|
|
- Wildcard resource policy audit results
|
|
- Remediation recommendations for each finding
