Description

### Current Behavior

Dependency-Track is incorrectly matching CVEs for WordPress plugins to npm packages that share the same name. For example, vulnerabilities for the "sirv" WordPress plugin (with CPE cpe:2.3:a:sirv:sirv:*:*:*:*:*:wordpress:*:*) are being flagged against the npm package pkg:npm/sirv@2.0.4.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an SBOM containing the npm package sirv@2.0.4 using Syft or similar tool:
2. Upload the SBOM to Dependency-Track or scan using anchore/sbom-action
3. Review vulnerability findings for the sirv package
4. Observe that WordPress plugin CVEs are incorrectly matched to the npm package

### Expected Behavior

Dependency-Track should NOT match vulnerabilities to packages when there is an ecosystem mismatch.
