Good morning,
Within the NVD Nist cpe Dictionary I cannot find this cpe "cpe:2.3:a:ibm:informix_jdbc", since it is a driver that allows you to connect to the informix database, I kindly ask if you can apply the official cpe " cpe:2.3:a:ibm:informix".
We would appreciate it very much.
Best regards,
TEAM Cert

Unfortunately, we can't do that. This is an independent component with unique versioning. The official NIST CPE Dictionary does provide bad coverage for this use-case.
