🔒 Remediate CVE-2024-21534: Update and secure your jsonpath package This remediation script automatically updates the vulnerable jsonpath-plus package to version 10.0.0 or later, protecting your system from the critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability. 🔍 How it works: The script checks the installed version of jsonpath-plus and compares it to the safe version. If a vulnerable version is found, it updates the package and verifies that the update was successful, ensuring your system is secure. ⚠️ Why it matters: CVE-2024-21534 could allow attackers to exploit your system by executing arbitrary code via unsafe input handling in jsonpath-plus. Updating this package is crucial to prevent unauthorized access and protect your data from potential attacks.

Consolidation & third-party patching is particularly valuable

"With vRx, we can patch in real time, especially for our end-user systems—reducing our remediation cycle from once every three months to within the week."

Michael Sutherland
