A team discovered an unpatched library in a critical environment. They have completed scanning, confirmed the vulnerability, and evaluated risks. The next step is part of their remediation process. Which action is the most effective?
Notify end users about the discovered risk before adjusting the library
Return the deployed software to a prior variant
Install the vendor’s fix and confirm the problem is gone
Check security logs for suspicious attempts against the library
Applying the update prevents malicious attempts to exploit the known bug. Reverting to a previous state might revert to another insecure version. Monitoring logs alone does not remove the underlying problem. Sending notifications helps awareness but does not solve the error. Updating and confirming it is resolved ensures the final step in vulnerability management is addressed.
