AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-08-22 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/gameliftstreams/list-stream-sessions-by-account.md

Summary

Updated documentation for stream session statuses with more detailed timeout/termination conditions, added RECONNECTING status, and clarified location hosting details

Security assessment

The changes add documentation about session timeout enforcement (ConnectionTimeoutSeconds, 60-minute inactivity termination) and automatic session termination mechanisms. While these are security-adjacent controls for session management, there is no evidence this addresses a specific vulnerability. The updates improve transparency about existing security features.
