Service: AWSEC2 · 2025-07-04 · Documentation low

File: AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/verify-iid.md

Summary

Corrected PowerShell examples: Added explicit -Uri parameters and fixed command syntax for IMDSv2 token usage.

Security assessment

These are documentation formatting improvements for command examples. No security vulnerabilities are addressed, though proper syntax helps prevent misconfiguration errors when implementing IMDSv2 security practices.
