# Please upgrade go and go-libp2p immediately
🚨 Ring the alarm! 🚨 Users of go-libp2p need to:
upgrade their go installations to v1.14.7 and v1.13.15 —and—
upgrade their go-libp2p-* dependencies to the latest released versions
in order to secure their applications against an upstream security vulnerability.
