AWS vpc-lattice documentation change

Service: vpc-lattice · 2025-03-26 · Documentation low

File: vpc-lattice/latest/ug/sigv4-authenticated-requests.md

Summary

Added 'algorithm' parameter to sigV4Sign examples in code snippets for both SIGv4 and SIGv4A authentication methods

Security assessment

The change updates code examples to include the algorithm parameter in SigV4 authentication calls. While SigV4 is a security feature, there's no evidence this change addresses a specific vulnerability - it appears to be a documentation improvement for proper usage.
