People in this thread are worried that they are significantly vulnerable if they don't update right away. However, this is mostly not an issue in practice. A lot of software doesn't have continuous deployment, but instead has customer-side deployment of new releases, which follow a slower rhythm of several weeks or months, barring emergencies. They are fine. Most vulnerabilities that aren't supply-chain attacks are only exploitable under special circumstances anyway. The thing to do is to monitor your dependencies and their published vulnerabilities, and for critical vulnerabilities to assess whether your product is affect by it. Only then do you need to update that specific dependency right away.
