# Security digest: September 10, 2024

3 known exploited (cisa kev) additions and 1 critical advisory.

## Take stock

- Do you run any of these? Microsoft Publisher, Microsoft Windows. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2024-10-01.
- RubyGems: 1 critical advisory ( ruby-saml ). 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.
