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
