AWS cli high security documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-02-28 · Security-related high

File: cli/latest/reference/backup-gateway/test-hypervisor-configuration.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version, corrected parameter order between username/password, modified ARN and password regex patterns, added --cli-error-format option

Security assessment

Swap of username/password parameter documentation could lead to credential mishandling. Password regex changed from ^[ -~]+$ to [ -~]+ (removing anchors), potentially weakening input validation. ARN regex pattern anchors removed, affecting validity checks.
