# Security digest: May 1, 2024

1 known exploited (cisa kev) addition and 1 critical advisory.

## Take stock

- Do you run any of these? GitLab GitLab CE/EE. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2024-05-22.
- npm: 1 critical advisory ( xml-crypto ). Check with npm audit (or: npm ls <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)

- [CVE-2023-7028](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2023-7028/index.md) GitLab GitLab CE/EE: GitLab Community and Enterprise Editions Improper Access Control Vulnerability (CISA due 2024-05-22)

## Critical advisories
