AWS AmazonS3 documentation change

Service: AmazonS3 · 2026-06-22 · Documentation medium

File: AmazonS3/latest/userguide/replication-walkthrough1.md

Summary

Added IAM permission requirement (s3:GetObjectVersionAnnotationForReplication) for replicating object annotations.

Security assessment

This documents a security control (IAM permissions) required for a new feature (annotation replication) but doesn't address a specific vulnerability. It proactively informs users about necessary permissions for secure configuration.
