According to the entry in NVD (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2022-25927) for this CVE/GHSA, only versions of ua-parser-js from 0.7.30 to 0.7.33 are impacted. This GHSA does not include this lower bound of 0.7.30 for impacted versions.

I investigated the discrepancy and can see that in version 0.7.30 of ua-parser-js, the code vulnerable to ReDoS was introduced: faisalman/ua-parser-js@336ce2b (faisalman/ua-parser-js@336ce2b)

The fix was committed in version 0.7.33: faisalman/ua-parser-js@a6140a1 (faisalman/ua-parser-js@a6140a1)

Therefore, I believe that we can confidently update the version range for this GHSA to be consistent with the information in NVD.
