AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2026-05-07 · Documentation low

Summary

Added SessionName property for IAM role sessions and expanded user Type to include IAM_ROLE_SESSION

Security assessment

The SessionName property (with 2-64 character limits) documents secure session handling for IAM roles. Adding IAM_ROLE_SESSION type enhances RBAC documentation but doesn't address any specific security flaw.
