If you want, I made a small modification to build a version blacklist. This version will block the update if the update is to a blacklisted version.
add_filter('site_transient_update_plugins', function($value){
$pluginVersionsBlacklist = [];
// format: "folder/file.php" => ["array", "of", "versions"]
// "contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php" => ["5.4"] // will prevent the update to CF7 v5.4 from showing up
// "contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php" => [] // will prevent ALL updates to CF7 from showing up
$pluginVersionsBlacklist["contact-form-7/wp-contact-form-7.php"] = ["5.4"];
$pluginVersionsBlacklist["cf7-grid-layout/cf7-grid-layout.php"] = ["4.8.2"];
// this shouldn't change all that much, so we can keep it around
static $blacklistedVersionsList;
if ( $blacklistedVersionsList == null )
$blacklistedVersionsList = array_keys($pluginVersionsBlacklist);
// if the update list doesn't match anything we have in the blacklist, we can abort early
$intersection = array_intersect(array_keys($value->response), $blacklistedVersionsList);
if ( !sizeof($intersection) )
return $value;
if ( isset($value) && is_object($value) )
// run through the abridged list to check for versions
foreach($intersection as $pluginID){
$blacklistedVersions = $pluginVersionsBlacklist[$pluginID];
if ( sizeof($blacklistedVersions) == 0 || in_array($value->response[$pluginID]->new_version, $blacklistedVersions) )
unset($value->response[$pluginID]);
}
return $value;
});
I thought this was cool. I made a version you can place in the main plugin file with no edits. https://gist.github.com/deanoakley/e05b9a037c5afce473b26b224a62cff5
/**

* Add to the core plugin file
*/
function disable_plugin_updates( $value ) {
if ( isset($value) && is_object($value) ) {
$plugin_file_name = basename(__DIR__) . '/' . basename(__FILE__);
if ( isset( $value->response[$plugin_file_name] ) ) {
unset( $value->response[$plugin_file_name] );
}
}
return $value;
}
add_filter( 'site_transient_update_plugins', 'disable_plugin_updates' );

I found the easiest way to disable updates to a specific plugin is go to Plugin Editor, browse to relevant plugin and find the plugin's update php file (search through plugin files for 'update' or 'updater' in the filename). Open file, comment out all the code (/* ...code... */) and save via update file button.
