AWS payment-cryptography documentation change

Service: payment-cryptography · 2025-08-01 · Documentation low

File: payment-cryptography/latest/userguide/use-cases-issuers.generalfunctions.icvv.md

Summary

Updated example AWS Key ARNs to remove account ID placeholder (replaced '111122223333' with empty segment '::')

Security assessment

The change standardizes example ARN formats but does not address a security vulnerability or weakness. Removing the account ID placeholder improves documentation clarity but does not inherently mitigate a security risk or introduce security features.
