AWS cognito documentation change

Service: cognito · 2025-04-03 · Documentation low

File: cognito/latest/developerguide/cognito-user-pools-working-with-lambda-triggers.md

Summary

Updated section titles and terminology for consistency (e.g., 'Important considerations' to 'Things to know', 'Adding' to 'Add'). Added clarification about Lambda trigger event handling and default behavior.

Security assessment

Changes are documentation improvements and terminology updates without addressing specific security vulnerabilities. References to IAM permissions and resource-based policies are part of standard security practices but do not indicate a new security issue or feature.
