AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-06-16 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/wafv2/describe-managed-rule-group.md

Summary

Added documentation for a new 'Monetize' action in WAF rules which returns HTTP 402 Payment Required responses and requires payment verification before granting access.

Security assessment

The change introduces a monetization feature rather than addressing a security vulnerability. While it involves blocking unpaid requests, this is business logic for access control via payment verification, not a security fix or threat mitigation. No CVE, vulnerability reference, or security advisory is mentioned.
