AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-02-28 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/cognito-idp/confirm-forgot-password.md

Summary

Updated CLI version reference to 2.34.0, added --cli-error-format parameter, enhanced documentation about Lambda triggers and clientMetadata usage, added error format options including 'off'

Security assessment

Changes focus on documentation improvements for Lambda trigger integration and CLI error formatting. No evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. Enhanced Lambda trigger explanations help developers implement workflows securely but don't introduce new security mitigations.
