GeneralUpdate All NuGet Packages??? Pin

Someone above me decided that we need to update ALL NuGet packages in the app. Literally just open NuGet Package Manager and click Update. The rational behind this was "to ensure we're on the most secure packages".

I pushed back saying
1. That doing this could introduce new bugs,
2. Without researching them first, there's to guarantee they'll be 'more secure'. In fact, the opposite could be true
3. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

My concerns were dismissed, and I was told to do it anyway.

At every company I've worked at up to now, there had to be a real reason to upgrade a package, like a new feature we needed, or the package was deprecated. I've never been tasked with a blanket upgrade of ALL packages "to make sure they're secure"

I'd like to hear what you guys think.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.
