AWS inspector documentation change

Service: inspector · 2025-10-16 · Documentation low

File: inspector/latest/user/sbom-generator-ecosystem-collection.md

Summary

Removed documentation for 7-Zip, Curl, Libcurl, and Elasticsearch ecosystem collections. Updated macOS spelling and removed related platform paths/version examples.

Security assessment

The changes remove documentation for specific software components but do not mention any security vulnerabilities, patches, or incidents. This appears to be a routine update deprecating support for certain ecosystems rather than addressing security issues. No CVEs, vulnerabilities, or security advisories are referenced in the diff.

-###### Curl version string
-
-The following is an example of a version string embedded in a Curl binary: 
-    
-    
-    curl/8.14.1
-
-Version `8.14.1` is extracted from the string to identify the `Curl` version.
