# Security digest: January 2, 2025

1 critical advisory.

## Take stock

- npm: 1 critical advisory ( path-sanitizer ). 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)

None.

## Critical advisories

- [CVE-2024-56198](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2024-56198/index.md) path-sanitizer allows bypassing the existing filters to achieve path-traversal vulnerability — npm path-sanitizer < 3.1.0 → 3.1.0
