The range should be < 5.31.0, not <= 5.30.7.

The fix sebhildebrandt/systeminformation@b67d371 is in tag v5.31.0 and not in tag v5.30.8. The npm package of 5.30.8 still has the vulnerable exec(postgresqlBin[postgresqlBin.length - 1] + ' -V', ...) call in lib/osinfo.js. 5.30.7 is the version named as tested in the advisory, but it is not the last affected one.

So version 5.30.8 is still vulnerable but is outside the current range.

@nikpivkin @github this is correct the patched version is 5.31.0
so the (affected) range should be <= 5.30.8. or < 5.31.0
