Summary

Updated RFC change type for requesting additional Lambda permissions, adding '(review required)' to the process

Security assessment

The addition of a mandatory review step for granting additional Lambda permissions (e.g., VPC access) introduces a security control to prevent excessive privilege escalation. This addresses the risk of over-permissioned Lambda functions, which could be exploited in security incidents.
