SAST finding is duplicated with an entry that is completely different

Summary

I have a new SAST finding that's somehow merged with a different one from the history that happens to have been dismissed. Because of that, the scan result policy isn't applied (because the finding isn't new). See !95627 (closed) and the vulnerability in the MR widget.
