Hi @Jacob_Delgado . It’s more than a month now since this update - can you advise if there is any progress/ETA on resolving the CVE issue with 1.8.3? Thanks

Hello,

We apologize for the late response. The vulnerability fix required some research and we have been actively working with related experts to address it. This unfortunately caused the delay. To give the update, we have made the fix plan and currently we are implementing the fix. We plan to release the patch releases around April 20th. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much,
