  • Do you run any of these? Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines (RP4VMs), GitLab GitLab. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2026-02-21.
  • npm: 1 critical advisory (ghost). Check with npm audit (or: npm ls <package>).
  • PyPI: 1 critical advisory (nltk). 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.
