  • Do you run any of these? Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Windows, SolarWinds Web Help Desk. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2024-11-05.
  • npm: 1 critical advisory (@vendure/asset-server-plugin). Check with npm audit (or: npm ls <package>).
  • Go: 1 critical advisory (github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder). Check with govulncheck ./....
  • PyPI: 1 critical advisory (changedetection.io). Check with pip-audit (or: pip show <package>).
