AWS wellarchitected documentation change
Summary
Updated prompt validation guidance: removed 'always' from ethical behavior instruction, added recommendation to document sanitization techniques in AI policy, changed 'leveraging' to 'using' for validation techniques, added 'help' to threat protection advice, and updated section headers.
Security assessment
The changes enhance security documentation by emphasizing prompt validation techniques and policy documentation, but don't address a specific vulnerability. The added recommendation to track sanitization approaches in AI policies improves security governance without evidence of fixing an existing exploit.
