3.11.5as fixed and adddatabase_specific.last_known_affected_version_range. - Clear the
severityarray (removing the previous CVSS v4 score).

The severity array is now empty, which drops the previously defined CVSS v4 score; this conflicts with the PR description mentioning a CVSS v4 update and results in the advisory no longer exposing any severity information. Consider restoring a CVSS_V4 entry here (with the updated vector as needed) instead of leaving the array empty so downstream consumers still receive a severity rating.

As noted here: kpatsakis/CVE-2025-67221#1, orjson is still affected if the nesting depth exceeds 127. So this is still likely an issue |
