CentOS does not provide the metadata to allow the --security flag to
work.

It doesn't provide it because that information from Redhat is
proprietary and not open source.

Right.

This is not my understanding. From what I can see, updates which patches 
CVEs are freely readable on Red Has site. For example:
CVE: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2021-3156
UPDATE: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2021:0221

Historically the CentOS team refused to provide such metadata due to the 
added work required. Now with Stream, and the demise of classic CentOS, 
security updates are even less probable (ie: a rolling release is often 
wholly updated).

Regards.
