Scanning a Single Policy File

You can also scan a single policy file to identify risks instead of an entire account.

cloudsplaining scan-policy-file --input-file examples/policies/explicit-actions.json

The output will include a finding description and a list of the IAM actions that do not leverage resource constraints. If there are instances of the high priority risks - Data Exfiltration, Resource Exposure, or Privilege Escalation - it will report those too.

The output will resemble the following:
