Developer Action Items
- ☐ Inventory whether Heights Finance Data Breach runs in prod, CI, staging, or on laptops before you debate severity.
- ☐ Confirm the vendor's fixed build for Heights Finance Data Breach from SecurityWeek, then schedule the patch window.
- ☐ If you cannot patch today, isolate the service, rotate tokens that sat on the affected surface, and raise the logging floor.
