# Security digest: February 5, 2025

1 known exploited (cisa kev) addition and 2 critical advisories.

## Take stock

- Do you run any of these? Linux Kernel. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2025-02-26.
- Maven: 1 critical advisory ( org.geotools:gt-app-schema , org.geotools:gt-complex , org.geotools.xsd:gt-xsd-core ). Check with mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=<groupId>:<artifactId> .
- npm: 1 critical advisory ( utils-extend ). 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.
