AWS IAM medium security documentation change
Summary
Enhanced Lambda example script with improved error handling, input validation, and security best practices. Changes include input sanitization, validation functions, error checking, and removal of user prompts.
Security assessment
The changes implement security best practices including: 1) Input validation patterns to prevent malformed data (validate_input function), 2) Numeric input validation with boundary checks in Lambda code, 3) Secure temporary directory handling, 4) Error checking for resource creation failures, 5) Removal of user prompts that could cause unsafe execution. These specifically address potential injection attacks and unsafe execution environments.
