Description

I’ve just created a PoC to pull in all the CVEs we have across all our packages. Here’s the script (https://gist.github.com/bjohansebas/91c1056fbad6968b4bd739d53ab53d57). It can still be improved and even turned into a GitHub Action, but before moving forward, what do you think about tracking our packages’ CVEs here?

With this, we could also improve the section at https://github.com/webpack/security-wg/blob/main/docs/threat-model.md#examples-of-vulnerabilities-in-scope by referencing this new file.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked CVE-tracking PoC and the examples of vulnerabilities in scope in docs/threat-model.md. Clarify whether the project wants a maintained CVE file, a GitHub Action, or both, then define the package coverage, update process, and acceptance criteria before implementation.
