AWS cli medium security documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-10-01 · Security-related medium

File: cli/latest/reference/rds/describe-db-engine-versions.md

Summary

Updated documentation structure and added details about custom engine version (CEV) parameters including S3 installation file locations, manifest constraints, KMS encryption, and ARN properties

Security assessment

Added documentation about KMSKeyId parameter for encrypted CEVs explicitly mentions encryption requirements for RDS Custom. This directly relates to security controls for data encryption at rest. The manifest constraints (min/max/pattern) help prevent potential injection attacks by validating input format.
