Description:

Based on the article, Session Key can be of 5 variants and can be easily identified based on sub-strings (YXdz & Jb3JpZ2luX2Vj). Current implementation was only looking for YXdz. This PR includes check for another string Jb3JpZ2luX2Vj.

Checklist:

  • Tests passing (make test-community)?
  • Lint passing (make lint this requires golangci-lint)?

For AWS session token, substring is being searched to avoid false positive session tokens.
