**Note**: For npm, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} will raise a pull request to update an explicitly defined dependency to a secure version, even if it means updating the parent dependency or dependencies{% ifversion dependabot-security-updates-npm %}, or even removing a sub-dependency that is no longer needed by the parent{% endif %}. For other ecosystems, {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} is unable to update an indirect or transitive dependency if it would also require an update to the parent dependency. For more information, see "[Dependabot tries to update dependencies without an alert](/en/code-security/dependabot/working-with-dependabot/troubleshooting-dependabot-errors#dependabot-tries-to-update-dependencies-without-an-alert)."
