And finally, this page contains the list of the latests security advisories. To avoid this, yarn and npm both have a cli command that will show you the dependencies you're using that are not up-to-date with their latest security patches: yarn audit or npm audit. 🔒 About safety, you can find in this very good article what could happen if your dependencies are not updated when a security issue is found and fixed.
