Description
To automate the update frequency of Cloudsplaining's privilege escalation database and enhance its coverage, I propose creating a synchronization script that polls the Pathfinding repository for new YAML-defined paths and updates the constants.py file from Cloudsplaining.
I am willing to lead this task, but I still have some questions about this automation, and I am unsure how the script should be executed. Should it be executed manually or every time a new update is made to the Pathfinding repository? I also not sure how the new paths should be organized on cloudsplaining (I am thinking of just extending the PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION_METHODS dictionary).
I am open to suggestions and discussions on how to solve this task!

Research direction
Start with constants.py and the PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION_METHODS dictionary, then inspect the Pathfinding repository's YAML-defined paths. Define whether synchronization is manual or triggered by Pathfinding updates and how new paths are organized; done means Cloudsplaining's privilege-escalation data stays synchronized with the source.
