AWS cli low security documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-05-01 · Security-related low

File: cli/latest/reference/account/delete-alternate-contact.md

Summary

1. Updated AWS CLI version reference 2. Modified account ID pattern validation 3. Moved --alternate-contact-type parameter position

Security assessment

Account ID pattern validation was relaxed from '^\d{12}$' to '\d{12}', potentially allowing invalid account IDs. While no direct vulnerability is introduced, this weakens documentation specifications for a security-sensitive parameter.
