AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2025-05-03 · Documentation low

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/ReleaseHistory.md

Summary

Added documentation for Kinesis StreamConsumer tags, new SSMGuiConnect::Preferences resource, Cognito UserPoolClient RefreshTokenRotation, and corrected a typo in Zeppelin configuration.

Security assessment

The Cognito RefreshTokenRotation addition documents a security feature (refresh token rotation) to reduce token reuse risks. SSMGuiConnect::Preferences introduces connection recording preferences, which could relate to security monitoring. No evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
