Comment:

 Hello @JosVelasco, thanks for the ticket,

 Given there is currently no way to differentiate a security update from a
 regular one, I think this will need a sibling
 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org Meta ticket] to see what can be done to
 potentially track security updates coming from plugin authors.

 [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3428 Here is the only related
 ticket I found on Trac] but it is not specifically related to security
 updates. The implementation on WordPress Core is pretty simple, but it
 depends on Meta to introduce a way to differentiate security updates,
 which doesn't exist for now, and I have no clue on how to handle that,
 except adding a keyword in the tag version, like `3.4.1-security` 🤷‍♂️

 Opening a Meta Trac ticket is probably the starting point for this :)
