Because it would list those vulnerabilities as separate entries, when they are just one:

       Known issues:                                                                                                                                                                                              
        - Cisco Packet Tracer 8 ships with qt5 qtwebengine.                                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
        - qt5 qtwebengine is unmaintained upstream since april 2025.                                                                                                                                              
       It is based on chromium 87.0.4280.144, and supposedly patched up to 135.0.7049.95 which is outdated.                                                                                                       
                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
       Security issues are frequently discovered in chromium.                                                                                                                                                     
       The following list of CVEs was fixed in the life cycle of chromium 138 and likely also affects qtwebengine:                                                                                                
       - CVE-2025-8879                                                                                                                                                                                            
       - CVE-2025-8880
       ...

It seems more logical to put them in one, but if this is preferred I'm happy to change it.
