Its currently hard to differentiate Dependabot PRs that resolve current CVEs from those that are simply evergreening our dependencies. Review the configuration and ensure that CVE resolving PRs are clearly labelled as such so that we can prioritise reviewing and merging them.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the repository's Dependabot configuration and reviewing how its pull requests are currently identified. Determine how PRs that resolve current CVEs can be distinguished from routine dependency updates, then verify that those PRs receive a clear, prioritisation-friendly label.
