I use `npm audit` and (and maven-dependency-check) and I trust that vulnerabilities discovered by others are enough.

I assume that if I were a sensitive institution, I would pay people to inspect those dependencies and discover vulnerabilities.

The medium term would be to publish a bug bounty, so researchers are incentivized to find vulnerabilities.

Opening a bug bounty program where security is immature may cost too much money. If issues won’t be handled in a good enough pace, researchers may stop submitting bounties.
