AWS AWSCloudFormation high security documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2026-03-07 · Security-related high

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-properties-mediapackage-channel-ingestendpoint.md

Summary

Changed Required status from Yes to No for Id, Password, Url, and Username fields in ingest endpoint configuration.

Security assessment

Making authentication-related fields (Password, Username) optional could weaken security by allowing configurations without proper credentials. This directly impacts authentication security controls.
