there is no update so does that not mean they are not affected?

Yes, that's correct.

The Joomla 4.2.8 security patch was to fix a security issue with the Joomla 4 web services. That functionality that was introduced in Joomla 4.0.

Joomla 3 is supported with security patches until August 2023. Joomla 3 does not have that web services functionality.
