It is possible that NIST uses the following cpe in its dictionary for this technology:app\:\*.
While if I search for the CVE-2020-1654 vulnerability, NIST associates this cpe:app\:\:cpanminus_project:app\:\:cpanminus
Could you kindly help me understand which cpe is correct?
Thank you

Thank you, we have just aligned the CPE. CVE-2020-1654 appears to be something entirely differently though.
