AWS CLI Credential Leak: Update Now to Patch CVE-2026-13769

AWS CLI versions 1.44.77 and earlier (v1) or 2.34.28 and earlier (v2) have a nasty security flaw on Unix-like systems. The tool was writing credential and config files with world-readable permissions, letting other local users snag your AWS credentials. If you're running an affected version, you need to update immediately—this one requires action.
