Wrong software versions, see GHSA-jc38-x7x8-2xc8 for reference.
Unclear to my why two versions of the same GHSA exists in the first place, these should be in sync

Pull request overview

Updates the GitHub-reviewed OSV advisory for GHSA-jc38-x7x8-2xc8 (PHP JWT Framework algorithm confusion via unprotected JOSE headers) to correct vulnerability metadata, particularly affected version ranges and severity information, aligning the record with the intended fix releases.

Changes:

• Corrected the CVSS v4 vector string (removing the previously appended /E:P threat metric from the stored vector).
• Replaced an incorrect broad last_affected bound with explicit fixed versions across the relevant Packagist packages and release lines.
• Updated database_specific.severity from HIGH to CRITICAL and bumped the modified timestamp.
