Preliminary research
Introducing pathrunner: An AWS privilege escalation framework
AI-collected research leads through 3 November 2026, including a November–October–September missed-article review and a targeted multilingual search alongside earlier community-source sweeps. Unranked, incomplete, not community-vetted, and subject to change.
Explains an AWS exploitation framework that joins identity switching, modular payloads, attacker-account infrastructure, resource cleanup and defender handoff reports. It builds on earlier 2026 releases; the CloudTrail report lists expected events rather than independently collected audit records.
