aws-iam-passrole-chain
90 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
AWS IAM privilege escalation via `iam:PassRole` chains — Lambda/Glue/Sagemaker/EC2/ECS PassRole to a higher-priv role, AssumeRole chains across accounts, sts:GetCallerIdentity recon, account hijack via legacy root-mfa-bypass.

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'aws-iam-passrole-chain' ~/.claude/skills/'aws-iam-passrole-chain' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
