Defensive priority
High
Recommended defensive actions
- Upgrade ADK instances to version 1.28.1 or 2.0.0a2
- Redeploy upgraded ADK to production environments
- Upgrade local ADK Web instances
- Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
- Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
- Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
