AWS lambda medium security documentation change

Service: lambda · 2025-07-25 · Security-related medium

File: lambda/latest/dg/urls-auth.md

Summary

Fixed syntax errors in JSON policy examples (extra quotes in resource ARNs)

Security assessment

Corrected invalid JSON syntax in IAM policy examples. Incorrect policies could lead to misconfiguration and unintended access if copied directly, making this a security-relevant documentation fix.
