October 2025: Security hardening for hmcts/em-media-viewer focused on vulnerability remediation through targeted dependency updates. Updated brace-expansion, tmp, and axios to mitigate vulnerabilities, including potential regex denial-of-service and arbitrary file writes. No new features released this month; primary value comes from reduced risk, improved patchability, and security posture. Commit fd0953d95c1a5881e9cc5c416b9d995e9a90779d with message 'brace expression audit fix (#1221)'.

September 2025 across the rpx-xui suite focused on security hardening, dependency hygiene, and deployment reliability. Delivered cross-repo updates to mitigate critical vulnerabilities (tough-cookie, axios, xml2js, express, webpack-dev-server) and improved build stability through semver consolidation, Jest/Rollup updates, and automated nightly CI/CD enhancements. Upgraded LaunchDarkly SDK for more robust feature flagging and consolidated UI dependencies to simplify maintenance. These actions reduce risk, shorten release cycles, and improve overall platform resilience for org management, approvals, and media viewing workflows.
