Support for FreeBSD base vulnerabilities was created by Mark Felder 3 
years ago 
https://blog.feld.me/posts/2016/08/monitoring-freebsd-base-system-vulnerabilities-with-pkg-audit/
and the past Security Advisories was published in VUXML.
At this time there is no other automated system to report base system 
vulnerabilities - are we really in 2019?
