sd fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade sd to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for sd

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2025-65807, inspect your project dependencies for Sd:

inspect dependencies for sd

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Sd in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
