Summary

Added 'ssm:DescribeInstanceInformation' permission to Maintenance Window task IAM role requirements

Security assessment

The addition of DescribeInstanceInformation expands IAM permissions but doesn't explicitly address a security vulnerability. This appears to be a routine documentation update for completeness.
