AWS code-library high security documentation change
Summary
Added multiple security enhancements to the ECS Getting Started example including input validation, secure credential handling, resource format verification, and security-focused code improvements
Security assessment
The changes implement concrete security measures: 1) Added input validation to prevent command injection (e.g., validating security group/VPC formats and command inputs) 2) Secure file deletion using shred to prevent credential leakage 3) Container image changed from 'latest' to versioned tag to reduce vulnerabilities 4) Added JSON validation to prevent malformed policies 5) Implemented security group ID format checks to prevent AWS API misuse 6) Added command quoting to prevent shell injection attacks
