The details field states "Mongoose versions prior to 8.8.3, 7.8.3, and 6.13.5 are vulnerable" which implies all versions before 6.13.5 are affected. However, according to the PR description, only versions 5.6.4 and later contain the vulnerable code path. The details should be updated to clarify that only versions from 5.6.4 onwards are affected, not all versions prior to the fixed versions. For example: "Mongoose versions 5.6.4 through 6.13.4, 7.0.0-rc0 through 7.8.2, and 8.0.0-rc0 through 8.8.2 are vulnerable..."
