Vulnerability Details

An incomplete string comparison in the numpy.core component in NumPy before 1.22.0 allows attackers to trigger slightly incorrect copying by constructing specific string objects. NOTE: the vendor states that this reported code behavior is "completely harmless."
Mend Note: After conducting further research, Mend has determined that versions 1.12.0 through 1.21.5 of numpy are vulnerable to CVE-2021-34141

I'm not sure why Whitesource flagged this issue. Further I'm working with numpy in numpy/numpy#18993 to get this specific CVE removed.

Also the previous comment should be taken as this issue having been reviewed by the Capital One Open Source Office such that there is no further action needed because this is a false positive. There are clearly no references to numpy-1.21.6 in the code anywhere.
