AWS AWSCloudFormation high security documentation change

Service: AWSCloudFormation · 2025-04-28 · Security-related high

File: AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/ReleaseHistory.md

Summary

Added documentation for AWS::ECR::RegistryScanningConfiguration and AWS::Oam::Link updates, including scanning configuration and data sharing controls. Updated formatting for other ECR resource lists.

Security assessment

The AWS::ECR::RegistryScanningConfiguration addition enables image vulnerability scanning for private registries, a critical security feature. The AWS::Oam::Link update introduces granular control over shared metric/log data, reducing exposure risks. Both changes directly address security capabilities.
