My 2 cents for the community. When the framework target Build settings -> Packaging -> Generate info.plist file is Yes It seems that even though the info.plist of the framework has the CFBundleShortVersionString XCode 15 will only use the Marketing Version value of the Framework's target build settings. So the fix is just add the marketing version. If you change to No Build settings -> Packaging -> Generate info.plist file you will see the CFBundleShortVersionString in your info.plist after archiving. It seems the merge when Build settings -> Packaging -> Generate info.plist file is Yes is not working properly.
