### Vulnerability Details

An incomplete string comparison in the numpy.core component in NumPy before 1.22.0 allows attackers to trigger slightly incorrect copying by constructing specific string objects. NOTE: the vendor states that this reported code behavior is "completely harmless." Mend Note: After conducting further research, Mend has determined that versions 1.12.0 through 1.21.6 of numpy are vulnerable to CVE-2021-34141

@taylorfturner our reqs suggest >=1.22 is another package causing this to revert to a lower version?

[JGSweets]

I think this is misidentification by mend since we have 1.22 in reqs.
