AWS privateca low security documentation change

Service: privateca · 2026-01-07 · Security-related low

File: privateca/latest/userguide/crl-planning.md

Summary

Removed reference to AWS Private CA automatically creating S3 buckets and applying default permissions policies during CA creation.

Security assessment

This change supports the security fix in create-CA.md by eliminating documentation about the removed automatic bucket creation feature. It reinforces that bucket policies must be manually configured, reducing risks of unintended public access to CRL data.
