AWS AWSCloudFormation medium security documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2026-05-13 · Security-related medium

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/TemplateReference/aws-properties-medialive-input-routersettings.md

Summary

Updated documentation for RouterSettings properties: clarified usage for MEDIACONNECT_ROUTER inputs, added requirements for Destinations and EncryptionType, and specified conditional requirement for SecretArn based on encryption type.

Security assessment

The changes explicitly document encryption options (AUTOMATIC vs SECRETS_MANAGER) and clarify that SecretArn must be provided when using customer-managed keys via Secrets Manager. This addresses secure key management practices by distinguishing between service-managed and customer-managed encryption keys, which is a critical security control.
