Removing the restrict-view label since this is in reference to public CVEs.

I'm no CPE expert, but I see many other CVEs just have a CPE which matches all versions plus a "description" that can say From/Up to. Anyway, I'm going to check with other team mates, thanks for notifying me!

I don't have any update on this to be honest, but as said above it seems pretty common to have such CPE with a description, so either those tools you are referencing are reporting a lot of false positives for many projects or they are using some other info and the problem comes from there and not from the CPE. For example, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23308 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-3596 and many others have the same kind of CPE+description.

Thanks for the update. I'll take a closer look at these and if the change seems correct I'll file a pull request on https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelist. This was suggested by Google's security team.

Looking at this a little more closely, I agree there are many examples like these, so it may be a limitation in the tools.

I did see a few in this range with extended version information [1][2][3][4]. These seem to be what was expected by the reporter.
