# Security digest: July 25, 2025

2 critical advisories.

## Take stock

- npm: 1 critical advisory ( node-saml , @node-saml/node-saml ). Check with npm audit (or: npm ls <package>) .
- GitHub Actions: 1 critical advisory ( tj-actions/branch-names ). Check with grep -rn 'uses: <owner>/<action>' .github/workflows .
- 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)
