Take stock

  • Do you run any of these? Google Chromium V8, NextGen Healthcare Mirth Connect. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2024-06-10.
  • Composer (PHP): 2 critical advisories (propel/propel, propel/propel1). Check with composer audit.
  • npm: 1 critical advisory (@blackprint/engine). 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.
