I am not sure this is the proper way of doing this.

The proper way is to contact the CNA which is responsible for the entry.
For example for https://cveawg.mitre.org/api/cve/CVE-2025-9951
The providerMetadata->orgId is 14ed7db2-1595-443d-9d34-6215bf890778, which
is "Google LLC", and the associated contact email is "alphabet-cna@google.com"
(see the CNA database inside sbom-cve-check: look for cna.toml)
But yes it is more work...
