Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

CPEs and fixed versions use Anchore's correction of NVD's data: unclear if this is real or what the fix may be, for now just align with NVD affected ranges. Not worth wasting resources on further analysis currently.
