I quit a gig recently because the CI/CD pipeline had automatic scanning of dependencies for vulns (yay!) and no tangible process for dealing with them.
It was up to the dev to "fix" this "defect" before code could be merged.
There was no pinning policy. There was no actual security review (where do we use this? are we vulnerable? why do we use this? are there alternatives?).
