AWS AWSEC2 documentation change
Summary
Added note specifying macOS authentication credentials must be 4-16 characters for SIP settings API calls
Security assessment
The change enforces password complexity requirements (length constraints) for macOS authentication credentials used with SIP settings. While this relates to security best practices, there's no evidence it addresses a specific vulnerability or security incident. It documents existing security controls rather than fixing an issue.
