  • Do you run any of these? SonicWall SonicOS, Linux Kernel, ImageMagick ImageMagick. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2024-09-30.
  • PyPI: 1 critical advisory (pyload-ng). Check with pip-audit (or: pip show <package>).
  • Composer (PHP): 1 critical advisory (topthink/framework). Check with composer audit.
  • None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.
