+ExploitGraph Module: IAM Privilege Escalation Scanner
+Category: cloud
+
+Enumerates IAM permissions and detects privilege escalation paths.
+Based on Rhino Security Labs research on AWS privilege escalation methods.
+
+Detects:
+  - Direct policy modifications (PutUserPolicy, AttachUserPolicy)
+  - Role assumption chains (PassRole → AssumeRole)
+  - Service-linked escalation (Lambda, EC2, CloudFormation)
+  - Wildcard permissions
+  - Cross-account trust misconfigurations
+
+All operations are READ-ONLY enumeration.
