falsepositives:
|
|
- AssumeRole may be done by a system or network administrator. Verify whether the user identity, user agent, and/or hostname should be making changes in your environment.
|
|
- AssumeRole from unfamiliar users or hosts should be investigated. If known behavior is causing false positives, it can be exempted from the rule.
|
|
- Automated processes that uses Terraform may lead to false positives.
