• Comment: Findings for VMSA-2025-0001 which is resolved with Automation 8.18.1 Patch1 shows the finding after update. 
• Status: The Automation version number did not increase with the release of the patch as expected. Even with patch 24411566 installed the version is still 8.18.1.36791 Build 24282366.
