AWS cli documentation change

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

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

Summary

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

Security assessment

Similar to the medical transcription changes, this update improves clarity around KMS key usage and expands permission requirements to include DataAccessRoleArn. This enhances security documentation but doesn't indicate remediation of a specific known vulnerability.
