- Maven: 1 critical advisory (
org.geotools:gt-app-schema,org.geotools:gt-complex,org.geotools.xsd:gt-xsd-core). Check withmvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=<groupId>:<artifactId>. - npm: 1 critical advisory (
utils-extend). Check withnpm 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.
