AWS workspaces documentation change

Service: workspaces · 2026-07-10 · Documentation low

File: workspaces/latest/userguide/amazon-workspaces-osx-client.md

Summary

Added release notes for version 5.33.0 of the Amazon WorkSpaces macOS client, including new features (Universal app support, URL redirection) and bug fixes.

Security assessment

The change adds documentation for URL redirection (a security feature allowing controlled web access) and fixes a YubiKey login crash (stability improvement). No concrete evidence of patching a specific vulnerability exists. URL redirection enhances security by enabling administrator-controlled web traffic routing.
