Should you act?

  • Only if you depend on one of the packages below, directly or transitively, in a vulnerable version. Check your lockfile with composer audit.
  • No CVE has been assigned, so it will not appear in CVE-based scanners that ignore GitHub advisories. npm audit, pip-audit and Dependabot do read GitHub advisories.
