AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-08-19 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/connectparticipant/get-authentication-url.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference from 2.28.11 to 2.28.12 and added note about ConnectionToken usage and lack of Signature Version 4 authentication

Security assessment

The change adds documentation about authentication mechanisms (using ConnectionToken instead of ParticipantToken) and explicitly states that Signature Version 4 authentication is not used. While this informs security practices, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
