AWS WAF now supports Request Header Insertion, allowing custom HTTP headers to be added to web requests. This feature enables validation of requests evaluated by AWS WAF and allows applications to process requests differently based on inserted headers. The video demonstrates how to configure custom headers in AWS WAF rules and shows how an application can use these headers to grant privileged access. This new capability enhances security and provides more granular control over request handling in web applications protected by AWS WAF.
