Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Given recent vulnerabilities in the Firefox browser, which have affected downstream forks, it's crucial to be aware of these issues. F-Droid provides a list of known vulnerabilities, and Droid-ify populates this in Anti-Features. It would be beneficial to receive notifications about these vulnerabilities so that users can take appropriate actions.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like Droid-ify to notify users when installed apps have known vulnerabilities, potentially providing details and recommendations for updates or patches.

With this most recent vulnerability, simply installing mull via the DivestOS repo will protect users.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Additional context

Implementing this feature would significantly enhance user security and trust, especially for critical apps like browsers. Notifications could include links to detailed information about the vulnerabilities and suggested actions.

I second this request. Because I use Droidify I was not aware of the warning about Fennec in F-Droid.
