AWS firehose documentation change

Service: firehose · 2025-10-22 · Documentation medium

File: firehose/latest/dev/secrets-manager-how.md

Summary

Deleted an example IAM policy granting Secrets Manager and KMS decrypt permissions

Security assessment

Removal of a policy example reduces guidance for secure configuration but doesn't indicate a security fix. The change removes documentation rather than addressing a specific vulnerability, though it could impact users' ability to implement least-privilege access.
