I mean, you don't have to use the scanning tools if you'd prefer not to know.

  The problem is it gets weaponized. If you're unlucky you have a client who runs a scan naively on your software and demands these get addressed as critical priorities under SLA. I'm sure there are plenty out there with managers who will just run the report and demand these "security issues" are fixed and won't understand an explanation on why it's not relevant.

    This is a silly objection in my opinion - clients demand unreasonable things all the time. Its up to you to write a reasonable SLA that protects yourself. Dont get me wrong, i wish npm audit was better. But unreasonable people will be unreasonable regardless of the tools they have access to.

  It’s not about not wanting to know, it’s about wanting to know about real security issues and being buried in low quality reports which do not need to be addressed.

  The risk that a person could potentially write an infinite while loop and commit it to a codebase is about the same as the threat posed by the DoS "vulnerabilities" that seem to have completely overrun the NPM audit system. Noone wants to know about the former risk.
