AWS waf high security documentation change

Service: waf · 2025-07-19 · Security-related high

File: waf/latest/developerguide/security-nsd-with-iam-id-based-policies.md

Summary

Introduced typo in IAM policy action ('network-security-director' -> 'network-secusrity-director') and added JSON formatting

Security assessment

The typo in the IAM policy action 'network-secusrity-director:*' would break permissions if used in real policies, potentially leading to unintended access controls. This is a direct security-impacting documentation error.
