Users are not aware of the underlying dependencies and the risks a component is carrying when including it in their pipeline This lack of security validation poses a significant risk, as components with undiscovered vulnerabilities can compromise the entire pipeline and the production environment. ### Proposed solution To address these issues, we need a solution that integrates vulnerability and/or dependency scanning into the component publishing workflow, ensures the immutability of secure versions, and provides continuous security checks and alerts for maintainers and users. * Provide a report per each component, which include the risk, vulnerabilities, dependencies etc... (Free) * Ability to block component usage (or publication) that did not pass one of our scans (Paid)
