# Security digest: August 3, 2026

1 known exploited (cisa kev) addition and 1 critical advisory.

## Take stock

- Do you run any of these? N-able N-central. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2026-08-06.
- npm: 1 critical advisory ( sequelize ). 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.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

- [CVE-2026-18577](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2026-18577/index.md) N-able N-central: N-able N-central Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel Vulnerability (CISA due 2026-08-06)

## Critical advisories

- [CVE-2026-69240](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2026-69240/index.md) Sequelize: SQL Injection (Oracle DB) — npm sequelize < 6.37.4 → 6.37.4
