We get some concerned folks asking about vulnerabilities on our software all the time because some dependency has a critical vulnerability and that gets our stuff flagged as having critical vulnerabilities too, even tho you need to opt-in to that dependency in compile time and even when it's present it can only be abused by users with enough privilege to do directly much more than anything the vulnerability can end up doing.
