AWS waf documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to clarify terminology by standardizing references to 'protection pack (web ACL)' instead of 'protection pack or web ACL' throughout the text. Changes are editorial to improve consistency in describing where rules are defined and managed.
Security assessment
The changes are purely terminological clarifications and structural phrasing improvements. There is no evidence of addressing a security vulnerability, patching an issue, or describing new security controls. The updates focus on documentation consistency rather than security implications.
