AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2025-06-25 · Documentation medium

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/doc-history.md

Summary

Added documentation for new Route53Resolver DelegationRecord property and INBOUND_DELEGATION direction, updated AccessAnalyzer::Analyzer with internal access configuration details, and corrected multiple documentation URLs from UserGuide to TemplateReference

Security assessment

The AccessAnalyzer update adds documentation for internal access analysis configuration, which enhances security visibility by allowing specification of analysis rules for AWS resources. However, there is no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability. Other changes are routine documentation updates.
