Summary

Adds two doc-history entries: one noting a known scenario where the Amazon Inspector SBOM Generator may generate a vulnerability finding for CVE-2026-111943 (to be resolved in the next release), and one announcing the new default Amazon ECR re-scan duration of 7 days.

Security assessment

The entry explicitly references a specific CVE (CVE-2026-111943) and discloses a known issue in the Amazon Inspector SBOM Generator that can produce a spurious vulnerability finding, with a fix promised in the next release. This is concrete vulnerability/known-issue disclosure tied to a scanner, though it describes a false-positive reporting issue rather than an exploitable flaw.
