AWS code-library medium security documentation change
Summary
Enhanced AWS MediaConnect example script with security hardening: added input validation, secure permissions, error handling, and automatic cleanup
Security assessment
Changes explicitly implement security measures: 1) Added umask 0077 to prevent world-readable files 2) Validated AWS credentials and account ID 3) Added ARN format validation to prevent injection attacks 4) Implemented secure JSON parsing with jq 5) Added region/AZ format validation 6) Set strict file permissions (chmod 600) for logs
