Feature for display via UI if packages are not up to date or vulnerabilities exists for environments/workspaces

[schlegel11]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

For e.g. containers there are vulnerability scan extensions available.
Maybe it would be good if there is a possibility to show in the UI if an environment need package updates or if there are vulnerabilities found for a specific base image.
Maybe it would be nice to apply updates etc. directly to this environment from the UI.

Which alternative solutions exist?
I currently don't know if there are existing strategies for this problem or if there is something specified in general for development containers.

@schlegel11 That's a great suggestion for the overall ecosystem.
However, I don't see us implementing such a general purpose addition in the near future but will leave the ticket open. If there's enough community interest we might reconsider.
