What's Fixed

Critical Bug Fix: PCI-DSS scans no longer crash when AWS credentials have limited EC2 permissions. The scanner now gracefully handles permission errors instead of panicking.

Technical Details

  • Fixed nil pointer dereference in PCI Requirement 1.2.1 (Network Segmentation)
  • Fixed nil pointer dereference in PCI Requirement 2.2.2 (Default Configurations)
  • Improved error messages to indicate missing permissions
  • Removed hardcoded development paths from source files

Who Should Update

Anyone running PCI-DSS scans with restricted AWS credentials.
