AWS cli medium security documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-04-19 · Security-related medium

File: cli/latest/reference/devops-agent/create-chat.md

Summary

Updated CLI version from 2.34.29 to 2.34.32 and changed --user-id parameter from required to optional with deprecation notice indicating user identity is now resolved from authenticated session

Security assessment

The change deprecates the user-id parameter and shifts to using authenticated session for user identity resolution. This addresses a potential security issue where user-provided IDs could be manipulated, now relying on the authenticated session which is more secure. The explicit deprecation and security improvement note indicates this addresses an authentication security concern.
