Question Is it possible to only update packages with critical security advisors?

Hi,

I just learned that there is no security metadata in the CentOS yum repos which means that running yum --security update doesn't work. It won't update the packages which have a critical CVE (What is a CVE?).

On the other hand, AlmaLinux does provide the metadata. Does Plesk have support for this? is it possible to only install critical updates automatically? Right now, the only option in the Plesk GUI is to install all updates, which I rather do manually after making a snapshot of the filesystem. Besides that, you also have to restart some services after you install the updates, so I never understood why this is an option at all in the GUI.
