AWS code-library high security documentation change
Summary
Enhanced security measures in AWS Lambda example script including sensitive data redaction, strict permissions, resource validation, and secure cleanup procedures.
Security assessment
Added concrete security features: 1) Sensitive data redaction in logs (--password*/--secret* and ARNs), 2) Restrictive umask (0077) and file permissions (chmod 600), 3) Secure temporary file shredding, 4) Input validation for AWS resources, 5) AWS credentials verification. These directly address potential security vulnerabilities like credential leaks and insecure temporary files.
