They are releasing new versions too often, so it is a bit noisy, and keeping renovating a bit older does not create vulnerabilities in DD

DryRun Security

This pull request delays Renovate dependency management updates to a weekly schedule, which increases the window of exposure to past critical Renovate vulnerabilities (e.g., token leakage and command injection) and could enable supply-chain or repository compromise given the tool's likely elevated privileges. Consider shortening the update cadence or adding compensating controls to reduce the risk.

Delayed Security Updates for Dependency Management Tool in .github/renovate.json
Vulnerability Delayed Security Updates for Dependency Management Tool
Description The change delays updates for the Renovate dependency management tool to a weekly schedule. Historical data shows that Renovate has had critical vulnerabilities, including token leakage and arbitrary command injection. Delaying updates creates a window of exposure where known and patched vulnerabilities could be exploited, potentially leading to a supply chain attack or repository compromise, especially given the likely elevated privileges of such a tool.
