Unable to scan CloudFront in cli

[frese]

I've been using Former2 both running local web UI version and the cli version. I've had many successful scans in both and is currently using the cli version for batch processing lots of resources, however, Im not able to scan CloudFront distributions in the cli version ?

Using --debug I can see the CloudFront.listDistributions goes into a loop.

I get something like this ..

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░  0% (0/1 services completed)1741090203677: CloudFront.listCloudFrontOriginAccessIdentities - {}
1741090204796: CloudFront.listOriginAccessControls - {}
1741090205253: CloudFront.listDistributions - {}
1741090213195: CloudFront.listDistributions - {"Marker":"E3STGYGLGEW09K"}
1741090218978: CloudFront.listDistributions - {"Marker":"E27KY5SLJ2MU1P"}
1741090220956: CloudFront.listDistributions - {"Marker":"E27KY5SLJ2MU1P"}
1741090222946: CloudFront.listDistributions - {"Marker":"E27KY5SLJ2MU1P"}
1741090224855: CloudFront.listDistributions - {"Marker":"E27KY5SLJ2MU1P"}

and this just repeats forever.

Using the WebUI, with the Helper extension, Im able to scan CloudFront OK.
Any idea what this is about ?

Hey @frese,

Looks like CloudFront pagination works slightly differently to how it was originally coded. Pushed a change that should hopefully fix it. Let me know if that works for you.

Sorry @iann0036

I get the same result

Hi @frese,

Apologies, looks like I neglected to inherit the fix into the CLI. Could you try again with 0.2.82?

Hey @frese,

Sorry for the runaround. I had another attempt at fixing this, available in 0.2.83. Let me know if that helps.
