AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2025-12-10 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/rolesanywhere/get-subject.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference, modified subjectId pattern constraint, restructured subject field documentation with added fields (subjectArn, subjectId, enabled, x509Subject, lastSeenAt, updatedAt) and reorganized existing fields.

Security assessment

The pattern change from strict UUID validation (`[a-f0-9]{8}-([a-z0-9]{4}-){3}[a-z0-9]{12}`) to a more permissive pattern (`.*[a-f0-9]{8}-([a-z0-9]{4}-){3}[a-z0-9]{12}.*`) could indicate relaxed input validation, but there's no explicit security context provided. The added documentation for security-related fields like 'enabled' (credential status), 'lastSeenAt' (audit trail), and 'x509Subject' (certificate authentication) improves transparency about security features without addressing a specific vulnerability.
