Hi there, can you try running:

grype db status

And:

grype db update

And send us the results? We'll be happy to take a look. Thanks.

The problem seems to have somehow resolved itself and I am not currently able to replicate it.

I had same issue. when DB update is running if process canceled by user this issue appear.
To solve issue at first delete db and then update db.
$-> grype db delete
$-> grype db update
