Summary

Updated refund request instructions to allow IAM users with AWSMarketplaceSellerFullAccess or AWSMarketplaceSellerProductFullAccess permissions (previously required root user access).

Security assessment

Documentation now promotes security best practices by reducing root user dependency through IAM permissions. While not fixing a specific vulnerability, it enhances security documentation by describing granular access controls.
