AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Added references to 'protection pack' alongside web ACLs throughout testing documentation and introduced new console experience note
Security assessment
The changes introduce documentation for a new 'protection pack' concept which appears to be a security feature grouping. While this adds security-related documentation, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or security incident.
