Or keep it checked automatically with the GitHub Action or a nightly cron; see WordPress docs.

Install docs   How findings are ranked
A version is vulnerable when it falls inside an affected range and below the fixed version. phpwarden applies these ranges to the exact versions in your lockfile or install, so you only see what applies to you.
