AWS AmazonS3 documentation change

Service: AmazonS3 · 2026-04-25 · Documentation low

File: AmazonS3/latest/userguide/configure-inventory.md

Summary

Updated the checksum algorithm field description in inventory configuration to include newly supported algorithms (MD5, XXHash64, XXHash3, XXHash128, SHA-512).

Security assessment

This change updates inventory documentation to reflect expanded checksum algorithm support. While inventory data about checksums can help with integrity monitoring, there's no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability. The change adds documentation about security-related metadata but doesn't indicate a security issue was fixed.
