Description

### Current Behavior

Hello, we are running the latest version (v4.12.3). We see behavior that sometimes, vulnerabilities still show up, even though the component is currently at a higher version than reported in the CPE.

For example, we have `tensorflow` at version `2.18.0` (`pkg:pypi/tensorflow@2.18.0`), but vulnerability `CVE-2021-35958` still shows up, but the CPE of that vulnerability is `cpe:2.3:a:google:tensorflow:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* (<=2.5.0)`.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new project (Application)
2. Add a component and provide the purl as given above
3. Check for vulnerabilities and it shows this dependency vulnerable in the component

### Expected Behavior

Since 2.18.0 is newer than 2.5.0, it should not be marked as vulnerable.
