could marking deps as "insecure" be optional? #394

Closed 75lb closed 2 years ago

75lb commented 6 years ago

I'm no longer using David as it flagging certain deps as "insecure" is completely irrelevant and misleading in my case.

My app is a command-line development tool, it is only executed occasionally by a local user. David flags my app as being "insecure" due to a dep it has with a known XSS scripting vulnerability. This vulnerability is completely irrelevant in my case as the code is neither executed in a XSS nor server context. David flags my app as insecure despite there being no security issue. I get at least one issue/PR per week submitted about this so-called vulnerability and I'm tired of writing the same response.

Could the "insecure" flag be made optional?
