Yes - which is great for surfacing this, along with GitHub’s alerts, but unless it’s a direct dependency I find I’m usually just stuck researching the vector and waiting months for numerous layers of dependencies to update in sequence.

Oh, and to be clear: I think this is a problem with OSS sustainability – shipping updates takes real work – more than NPM, mildly exacerbated by the JS stdlib leading to more modules being used instead.
