AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2025-05-31 · Documentation low

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-windows-stacks-bootstrapping.md

Summary

Updated documentation links, reordered content about IAM security groups, and modified SharePoint version reference

Security assessment

While IAM security group mention was moved, this appears to be content reorganization rather than security remediation. SharePoint version update and link corrections don't indicate security fixes.
