AWS IAM Policy Linter

Paste an AWS IAM policy JSON document to validate its structure and surface common security red flags — Allow "*" on Action and Resource, public Principals, conflicting Action/NotAction, missing Version, and malformed service:Operation names.

Ringkasan alat

Alat ini menerima input berstruktur dan mengembalikan output deterministik dalam pelayar tanpa muat naik pelayan.

Nama alat: AWS IAM Policy Linter
Niat input: Sediakan kandungan sumber untuk diubah, disahkan atau dianalisis.
Niat output: Terima output ternormal yang sesuai untuk disalin, digunakan semula atau dinyahpepijat.
Contoh input: {"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Effect":"Allow","Action":"*","Resource":"*"}]}
Contoh output: Error: Allow "*" on Action and Resource grants full administrator access — nearly always too broad.

No issues found. The policy is syntactically well-formed and free of common wildcard red flags.

Formatted policy

Pengenalan alat

Gambaran keseluruhan alat

IAM policies are famous for failing silently: they parse fine, attach cleanly, and still grant everything in the account. This linter focuses on the misconfigurations that show up in real security reviews: full-wildcard Allow statements, public-Principal policies with no Condition, missing or outdated Version, and Resource values that do not look like ARNs. It does not resolve policy evaluation (no simulation across identity, resource, SCP, and session policies) — treat it as a fast first-pass editor check, not a replacement for IAM Access Analyzer.

Kes penggunaan

Catch an accidental Action "*" / Resource "*" before you attach the policy

Soalan lazim

Is this a replacement for IAM Access Analyzer?+

No. Access Analyzer runs AWS-side, has the service vocabulary, and can simulate cross-account access. This tool is a client-side linter for the common mistakes you can catch in an editor — it never contacts AWS.

Does it check for deprecated actions or typos?+

It checks that action strings match the "service:Operation" shape. It does not cross-reference the live AWS action catalog — a typo like "s3:GetObjetc" would pass the shape test.

Does my policy leave the browser?+

No. Parsing and linting happen locally. Nothing is uploaded.
