Description

### Please confirm these before moving forward.

- [X] I have searched for my feature proposal and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved/discarded issue.
- [X] This proposal is a completely new feature. If you want to suggest an improvement or an enhancement, please use [this template](https://github.com/marticliment/WingetUI/issues/new?assignees=marticliment&labels=enhancement&projects=&template=enhancement-improvement.yml&title=%5BENHANCEMENT%5D+%28Enter+your+description+here%29).

### Describe the new feature

Repology (https://repology.org/repository/winget) is offering an API to get latest version of software across multiple repos. IMHO the most interesting feature beyond checking if a package is outdated, if a package is potentially vulnerable: https://repology.org/projects/?inrepo=winget&vulnerable=1. Repoplogy offers a simple API https://repology.org/api/v1

### Describe how this new feature could help users

User can understand if a package if it is worth updating. Particularly I hesitate to move a package from chocolatey to winget if not really necessary. Security is certainly a reason.
