This is a new issue without an existing GHSA ID. The CI failure ("unable to match file to existing advisory") is expected — I understand the normal contribution process requires an existing GHSA entry. Could a GitHub staff member create a draft GHSA for npm/asn1 so I can update it, or advise on the correct intake process for new untracked vulnerabilities? The package is unmaintained (last release Nov 2021) so there is no maintainer to file a private advisory with.
