AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-08-28 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/codeguru-security/get-metrics-summary.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference from 2.28.16 to 2.28.19 and restructured metrics output documentation. Changed order of critical/high severity fields, moved 'categoriesWithMostFindings' section, and reorganized scan findings documentation.

Security assessment

The changes primarily restructure how security findings metrics are documented but don't address specific vulnerabilities. The documentation updates clarify presentation of security-related metrics (finding categories and scan results) but lack evidence of patching vulnerabilities or addressing security incidents.
