AWS AmazonRDS documentation change
Summary
Removed 'or an Aurora custom endpoint' from the restriction about what cannot be used to generate IAM authentication tokens, now only mentions custom Route 53 DNS records.
Security assessment
This change updates documentation about IAM database authentication restrictions. It clarifies that Aurora custom endpoints can now be used to generate authentication tokens, which is a feature update rather than a security fix. No evidence of a security vulnerability being addressed.
