You are using installed.packages(): "This needs to read several files per installed package, which will be slow on Windows and on some network-mounted file systems. It will be slow when thousands of packages are installed, so do not use it to find out if a named package is installed (use find.package or system.file) nor to find out if a package is usable (call requireNamespace or require and check the return value) nor to find details of a small number of packages (use packageDescription)." [installed.packages() help page]

Please fix and resubmit.

installed.packages() is core to this package's functionality - check the users installed packages for vulnerabilities. We do not use this to

  • find out if a named package is installed, or
  • find out if a package is usable, or
  • find details of a small number of packages

We use this function to obtain a list of all packages currently installed in order to check them for known vulnerabilities. When the function is called, we provide a message to the user stating this may take a while
