Take stock

  • Do you run any of these? Apple iOS and iPadOS, Progress WS_FTP Server, Atlassian Confluence Data Center and Server. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2023-10-13.
  • RubyGems: 1 critical advisory (geokit-rails). Check with bundle audit check --update.
  • None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.
