File: waf/latest/developerguide/waf-rule-statements-match.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'protection pack or web ACL' to 'protection pack (web ACL)' in WCU documentation and label match statement description

Security assessment

The changes appear to be terminology standardization (clarifying that 'protection pack' refers to web ACLs) rather than addressing security vulnerabilities or introducing new security features. No security implications are mentioned in the changes.
