AWS Route53 documentation change

Service: Route53 · 2025-10-22 · Documentation low

File: Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/infrastructure-security.md

Summary

Removed a paragraph explaining that API requests must be signed with IAM credentials or temporary STS credentials

Security assessment

The removed content described standard AWS authentication mechanisms but did not address a specific vulnerability. While authentication is security-related, the removal appears to be a documentation simplification rather than a response to a security incident.
