AWS mediapackage high security documentation change

Service: mediapackage · 2025-08-28 · Security-related high

File: mediapackage/latest/userguide/cdn-auth-setup.md

Summary

Removed CDN authorization header condition from policy example and provided a simplified JSON policy.

Security assessment

The original policy enforced a security condition (`mediapackagev2:RequestHasMatchingCdnAuthHeader: true`) to validate CDN authorization headers. Removing this condition in the example could lead to insecure configurations where unauthorized requests are allowed, weakening access control.
