Cloudsplaining is an AWS IAM security assessment tool designed to analyze Identity and Access Management configurations for security violations and compliance issues. The tool examines AWS IAM policies to identify violations of the least privilege principle by detecting IAM actions that do not implement proper resource constraints. It evaluates permissions and access patterns to highlight potential security risks within AWS environments. The assessment process generates a risk-prioritized HTML report that categorizes findings based on severity and impact. The tool specifically identifies four main categories of security risks: Data Exfiltration vulnerabilities, Infrastructure Modification risks, Resource Exposure issues, and Privilege Escalation opportunities. Cloudsplaining helps security teams and AWS administrators understand their IAM security posture by providing detailed analysis of policy configurations. The tool assists in prioritizing remediation efforts by ranking identified issues based on their potential security impact. The generated reports provide actionable insights for improving IAM security configurations and achieving better compliance with security best practices in AWS environments.
