AWS waf medium security documentation change

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

File: waf/latest/developerguide/waf-policies-logging-destinations.md

Summary

Modified S3 bucket ARN patterns and added JSON formatting

Security assessment

Changed resource ARNs from 'aws-waf-logs-LOGGING-BUCKET-SUFFIX' to 'aws-waf-logs-' in multiple locations, removing required placeholder. This could lead to bucket policy misconfigurations affecting log storage security if followed literally.
