AWS cli documentation change

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

File: cli/latest/reference/securityagent/batch-get-pentest-job-tasks.md

Summary

Updated AWS CLI version references from 2.34.41 to 2.34.44 and improved descriptions of parameters/response fields for clarity. Enhanced documentation for pentest job task retrieval including better explanations of task properties, categories, logging, and security risk targeting.

Security assessment

Changes are documentation improvements without evidence of addressing vulnerabilities. Enhancements clarify existing security testing features (pentest tasks) but don't introduce new security mechanisms or reference patched vulnerabilities. Updates to field descriptions (e.g., security risk types, logging locations) improve accuracy but don't indicate security fixes.
