AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-07-01 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/acm/delete-certificate.md

Summary

Updated navigation links and added clarification that ACME-origin certificates cannot be manually deleted. Includes AWS CLI version update.

Security assessment

The added note about ACME certificate deletion restrictions improves documentation of security controls but doesn't address a specific vulnerability. It enforces automated certificate lifecycle management without evidence of patching a security flaw.
