Description

Thanks for release 8.4.1 - It has minimized many of the critical security issues.
To pass acceptance with my customer POC, we are required to reach a "no critical CVEs" state.
Currently 8.4.1 has two critical issues - CVE-2025-68121 and CVE-2026-22863
Hope this is addressed promptly so we can qualify and progress with the POC
