Good morning. I noticed a discrepancy regarding the CPE for ServiceNow AI Platform. Your entry uses cpe:2.3:a:servicenow:ai_platform, but this identifier is not present in the official NVD/NIST CPE Dictionary, which lists cpe:2.3:a:servicenow:servicenow as the standard. Could you please verify and consider aligning it with the NVD naming convention to improve cross-tool compatibility? Thank you.
