Summary

Added asterisks (formatting emphasis) to definitions of Severity, Occurrence, Detection factors and risk categories in FMEA documentation

Security assessment

Changes are purely cosmetic formatting adjustments (adding asterisks) without modifying content. The documentation discusses general risk assessment methodology, not specific security vulnerabilities or security features. No security context was added or modified.
