AWS resource-explorer documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation to use 'CloudFormation' instead of 'AWS CloudFormation' consistently, removed activation requirement notice, and simplified service references
Security assessment
Changes primarily involve branding/naming convention updates (removing 'AWS' prefix from CloudFormation references) and removing outdated activation requirements. No specific security vulnerabilities, access control changes, or security feature additions are mentioned. The trusted access configuration between CloudFormation and Organizations remains functionally unchanged.

When you define a stack set, you specify AWS resources that you want created across your AWS Regions and across all of the target accounts that you specify. When all of the accounts are part of the same organization, you can take advantage of AWS CloudFormation integration with Organizations and let those services handle the cross-account role creation. You can enable automatic deployment in an organization, which automatically deploys stack instances to new accounts that you might add to the target organization or an organizational unit (OU) in the future. If you remove an account from the organization, then AWS CloudFormation automatically deletes any resources that were deployed as part of an organization stack instance.
