Not indicating the presence of vulnerabilities in the return code of
'pkg audit' is certainly worth opening an issue at
https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/issues

However, try using:

    pkg audit -q

which should not print anything unless it does find vulnerabilities, so
by the usual cron logic, you'll only get an email when there's a problem.=


There's also /usr/local/etc/periodic/security/410.pkg-audit which you
can enable as a normal periodic(8) job.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
