The details text states “before 3.1.0”, but this PR also adds a separate affected coordinate capped at last_affected: 2.4 (net.sf.json-lib:json-lib). To avoid ambiguity for consumers, consider clarifying details (or adding a short note) that distinguishes the legacy Maven coordinates (affected through 2.4) from the post-move artifact line where the 3.1.0 boundary applies.
