Dependabot already alerts us of existing vulnerabilities in our dependencies, so I don't believe this CI check is necessary.

Also I'm not sure if dependency pinning serves as a defence against upgrading to malicious software:

  1. We already commit our lockfile, and so pnpm will install the same versions of the dependency. So if a vulnerability is discovered in an audit, we should actually upgrade to the patched version as opposed to keeping the dependency pinned at a particular version.

  2. Even pinned versions can become compromised retroactively - an attacker could gain access to the package registry account and replace the package content while keeping the same version number - we could explore using provenance logs for npm packages in such a case, but not many deps provide them unfortunately. That being said It still may be worthwhile to run pnpm audit signatures in the future.

@maschad neither of these changes were intended as full-proof solutions, but merely mitigation. Agreed deps can be retroactively compromised and we commit our lock file.

Pinning dependencies does mitigate risk of us upgrading to a compromised version, which I believe is a more common risk.

Good point on the audit, with pinning in place we would only be upgrading from dependabot, so it would be redundant.

Okay I'm taking the approvals as agreement. Will hold off till after this weeks release window and then will merge, as I'll resolve the audit issues over the holiday period.
