Description
v0.2.5
I have run Cloudsplaining against an AWS account and the default.json contains one of the admin roles in the account. It shows that the following Attached Managed Policies are part of the Role.
"AttachedManagedPolicies": [
{
"PolicyName": "AdministratorAccess",
"PolicyArn": "arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AdministratorAccess"
}
],
When I look at the iam-results-default.json document it shows the same role but reports that the role has no policies at all.
"create_date": "2020-07-22 12:33:57+00:00",
"role_last_used": "2021-01-21 10:43:07+00:00",
"id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"name": "XXXXXXXXX",
"inline_policies": {},
"instance_profiles": [],
"instances_count": 0,
"path": "/",
"customer_managed_policies": {},
"aws_managed_policies": {},
"is_excluded": false
The result is that is shows in the output report as not being an issue even though is has full admin access to the account.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the report with Cloudsplaining v0.2.5, then compare the attached managed policies in default.json with the role data in iam-results-default.json. Trace how those documents feed the output report; done means an administrator role with AdministratorAccess is represented with its AWS-managed policy and reported as an issue.
