AWS AmazonRDS: Reword early binding explanation in dynamic masking best practices

Service: AmazonRDS · 2026-09-27 · Documentation low

File: AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/AuroraPostgreSQL.Security.DynamicMasking.BestPractices.md

Summary

Editorial change in the dynamic masking best-practices page: '(i.e. early binding)' was rewritten as '(that is, early binding)'. The surrounding guidance about avoiding late binding vulnerabilities such as search path modification is unchanged.

Security assessment

This is a pure copy-editing substitution ('i.e.' to 'that is') on a line that already existed; no new security advice, feature, or remediation is added, and no vulnerability or incident is referenced. The existing content on early binding/search path is untouched apart from the abbreviation.

Evidence

+Develop masking functions using early binding semantics to ensure proper dependency tracking and prevent late binding vulnerabilities such as search path modification during runtime. It is recommended to use `BEGIN ATOMIC` syntax for SQL functions to enable compile-time validation (that is, early binding) and dependency management.
