Vulnix Security Team

Does such an organization exist?

Kinda: the security team .

There’s also been some effort, (partially?) funded, to develop tool to help do that kind of work.
You can find some informations about it in this thread: Nixpkgs supply chain security project - #8 by fricklerhandwerk .
And the said tool lives at https://tracker.security.nixos.org/ .
