AWS AWSCloudFormation documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation for FlowSource resource with formatting fixes, encryption type clarification, source description scope, and CIDR block wording improvements
Security assessment
The change specifies allowable encryption types (static-key) and clarifies security-related configurations like IP range restrictions, but does not address a specific security vulnerability
