Description

An AWS role can be passed as a command line parameter (for STS assume role) to scan an account without creating/exposing access keys. It should not be a major code change and I can contribute if you are okay with it.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the command-line scan parameters receive AWS credentials and review the existing AWS authentication flow for an STS assume-role option. Done means an AWS role can be supplied without creating or exposing access keys and the scan can run against the target account.
