AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-04-04 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/configure/set.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version reference from 2.34.21 to 2.34.23 and added documentation for setting parameters in sub-sections (SSO session and services) using dotted notation for nested properties

Security assessment

The change adds documentation for configuring SSO session parameters and service-specific endpoints, which are security-related features (authentication and endpoint configuration). However, there is no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident - it appears to be routine feature documentation enhancement.
