Connect, query, and operate on information available from the 'Open Source Vulnerability' database https://osv.dev/. Although 'CRAN' has vulnerabilities listed, these are few compared to projects such as 'PyPI'. With tighter integration between 'R' and 'Python', having an 'R' specific package to access details about vulnerabilities from various sources is a worthwhile enterprise.
