AWS emr high security documentation change

Service: emr · 2025-10-22 · Security-related high

File: emr/latest/ManagementGuide/infrastructure-security.md

Summary

Removed a sentence explaining that requests must be signed with IAM access keys/secret keys or AWS STS temporary credentials.

Security assessment

The removed content specifically described fundamental security controls (authentication via access keys or temporary credentials). Removing this documentation could lead to misunderstandings about authentication requirements, potentially weakening security practices. This directly impacts security guidance for API access to EMR.
