AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'protection pack' to 'protection pack (web ACL)', changed console URLs, and adjusted navigation references to clarify web ACL concepts.
Security assessment
Changes are terminological updates and console URL adjustments without evidence of addressing vulnerabilities. No security weaknesses or incidents are mentioned. Updates focus on UI consistency and terminology alignment (e.g., clarifying that protection packs are web ACLs), not security enhancements.
