AWS waf documentation change

Service: waf · 2026-05-04 · Documentation low

File: waf/latest/developerguide/doc-history.md

Summary

Updated documentation history: added April 2026 entry for WAF API permission updates and removed January 2023 IAM guidance entry, both related to IAM best practices alignment.

Security assessment

Changelog updates reference routine IAM best practice alignments without indicating any specific security vulnerability resolution. The removal/addition of historical entries reflects documentation maintenance, not new security guidance.
