Description

Issue: AWS session expiration after 12 hours using AssumeRole credentials

Currently, when using AWS resources, the session expires after 12 hours. This can cause disruptions to long-running scans that rely on these credentials.

Fix: To address this issue, the recommended approach is to implement a scheduled rotation of the AssumeRole credentials before the expiration time. This can be achieved by using AssumeRole API and retrieve a new set of temporary credentials before the existing ones expire.

Additional env variables required :
export AWS_ROLE_ARN="arn:aws:iam::1127dummy395563:role/DUMMYRole"
export AWS_TOKEN_EXPIRATION_DURATION="901"
export AWS_ROLE_SESSION_NAME="DUMMY_aws_role_for_session"
