  • Do you run any of these? ASUS Live Update, SonicWall SMA1000 appliance, Cisco Multiple Products. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2025-12-24.
  • Composer (PHP): 2 critical advisories (pagekit/pagekit). Check with composer audit.
  • PyPI: 1 critical advisory (apache-airflow-providers-edge3). Check with pip-audit (or: pip show <package>).
  • None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.
