# Security digest: October 13, 2023

2 critical advisories.

## Take stock

- npm: 1 critical advisory ( @vrite/sdk ). Check with npm audit (or: npm ls <package>) .
- PyPI: 1 critical advisory ( pyminizip ). Check with pip-audit (or: pip show <package>) .
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

None.
