AWS code-library high security documentation change

Service: code-library · 2026-05-01 · Security-related high

File: code-library/latest/ug/cloudwatch-dashboard-script.md

Summary

Added security enhancements including credential masking, secure temporary file handling, input validation, and least privilege IAM roles.

Security assessment

Changes mitigate credential exposure risks by masking secrets in logs, secure temp file handling (chmod 600), and JSON validation. Concrete evidence: 1) Credential masking in curl commands, 2) Secure password generation, 3) IAM role with restricted trust policy preventing privilege escalation.
