What is Principal Mapper (PMapper)?
Principal Mapper (PMapper) is an open-source security tool for analyzing AWS IAM configurations to identify risks and privilege escalation paths. It models IAM Users and Roles as a directed graph, enabling comprehensive security assessments through local simulation of AWS authorization behavior. The tool helps security teams and cloud administrators proactively find misconfigurations that could be exploited by attackers.
Cloud security engineers, DevOps professionals, and AWS administrators responsible for securing IAM configurations and conducting security audits in AWS environments.
PMapper provides a unique graph-based approach to IAM analysis, uncovering indirect access paths and privilege escalation risks that traditional tools might miss. Its local simulation capability allows for safe, offline querying without impacting production environments.
