------------------------------------------------------------------
Since year 2019, the NIST record of this bug included the upper boundary for
the Xerces C version, 3.2.2 (probably because it was the last known version of
the product). It was updated to include 3.2.3 in years 2020 (in the
human-readable description) and 2022 (in the machine-readable one).
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-1311#VulnChangeHistorySection
Now that 3.2.4 is released, it shows as clean from the CVE despite still being
vulnerable. This makes the component scan users miss the danger.
Is there a way to remove the upper boundary from the CVE? I can see the change
history at NIST extends to this year.
Hopefully a breaking change (4.0?) can be free from the vulnerability, at which
point the CVE record could add the proper upper boundary.
