AWS cli low security documentation change

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

File: cli/latest/reference/account/get-account-information.md

Summary

1. Updated AWS CLI version reference 2. Added AccountState field to output 3. Modified pattern validations for account ID and account name 4. Updated command description to include account state

Security assessment

Added AccountState field provides security-relevant information about account lifecycle states (PENDING_ACTIVATION, ACTIVE, SUSPENDED, CLOSED). However, account ID pattern validation was relaxed from '^\d{12}$' to '\d{12}', weakening input specifications.
