AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-10-16 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/transcribe/start-medical-transcription-job.md

Summary

Updated KMS key documentation to clarify ARN format and permission requirements. Added DataAccessRoleArn to permission note.

Security assessment

The change clarifies KMS key ARN formatting and explicitly requires both the requesting role and DataAccessRoleArn to have KMS permissions. While this improves security documentation by emphasizing proper access controls, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
