Thanks @prabhu! This worked after I deleted db files and cached again.

But I also did --cache and --sync before deleting the files as well, but maybe somehow the files were not really replaced. I think it might be a bug in vdb. I tried understanding the code but I wasn’t able to figure out.

Thanks, @kakumanivrn, for raising this issue. This is fixed with 2.1.4

Perhaps a bug or the format of OSV schema had changed recently; severity is now appearing in the root instead of under the affected array in the OSV feed. https://github.com/AppThreat/vulnerability-db/commit/a45fc845257b963f079130d504debae3ea7282ec
