AWS cli medium security documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to clarify behavior differences between managed and customer-owned rule groups when invalid rule names are used in overrides. Added explicit warnings about silent ignoring of invalid rules in managed groups vs update failures in customer-owned groups.
Security assessment
The change highlights critical security implications of misconfigured rule overrides. For managed rule groups, silent failures could lead to unintended security gaps if admins mistakenly believe their overrides are active. For customer-owned rules, strict validation prevents deployment of misconfigured ACLs. This documentation update helps prevent security misconfigurations.
