AWS code-library high security documentation change
Summary
Updated the example bash script with security hardening improvements including strict error handling, input validation, resource cleanup reliability, and private key protection.
Security assessment
The changes implement critical security best practices: 1) Added 'set -euo pipefail' for strict error handling preventing undefined behavior 2) Set 'umask 077' to protect private key files from unauthorized access 3) Added IP address format validation to prevent command injection 4) Improved error suppression during cleanup to avoid credential leaks in error messages. These directly address potential security weaknesses in the example script.
