Introduction

IAM Privilege Escalation Identification Tool

Features

• 🛠️ Identifies potential privilege escalation issues in AWS IAM and Azure RBAC policies
• 💻 Leverages most advanced AI models via OpenAI for analysis
• 👍 Returns escalation paths and mitigation recommendations in easy to understand JSON format
• 🔑 Designed to integrate with and enhance Tenable Cloud Security cloud configuration auditing

Summary

EscalateGPT is a Python tool designed to identify privilege escalation opportunities in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Azure Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies. It can help security teams find misconfigurations in IAM permissions that could allow unauthorized access or privilege escalation. The tool retrieves all IAM policies associated with users or groups in an AWS account or AzureAD, and passes them to the OpenAI API to analyze. OpenAI will attempt to identify any potential ways those policies could be exploited to gain elevated permissions, as well as recommend mitigation strategies.

In testing, EscalateGPT leveraging GPT-4 managed to identify complex privilege escalation scenarios based on non-trivial IAM.
