Bro v2.6.1 is available for download:     [https://www.zeek.org/download/index.html](https://www.zeek.org/download/index.html)     [https://www.zeek.org/downloads/bro-2.6.1.tar.gz](https://www.zeek.org/downloads/bro-2.6.1.tar.gz) This release updates the embedded SQLite to version 3.26.0 to address the "Magellan" remote code execution vulnerability. The stock Bro configuration/scripts don't use SQLite by default, but custom user scripts/packages may. This release also updates Broker to v1.1.2, which includes a minor bug fix in its Python bindings and improved support for building it as a static library. ---

You need to rebuild the package/plugin, I think this was just added to the zeek package manager...or will be soon ---

Ok...so...this was installed using the spiffy bro-pkg, so "rebuilding" isn't an option if I intend to stick with bro-pkg. If plugins aren't going to keep in sync with the core app proper then that might be an issue (especially in my case it looks like). James ---

Try re-compiling/installing the plugin/package. Plugins currently get compiled such that they reference a specific Bro (plugin API) version and only linking against that version of Bro provides it. i.e. once compiled, the plugin only works against a specific Bro version - Jon ---

Installing a bro-pkg that is a plugin does rebuild it. They aren’t distributed as binaries. -Dop ---

Why is it not an option? There isn't a "rebuild" command (yet), but the alternative given at [1] should be equivalent AFAIK, just in two separate commands:     bro-pkg bundle my.bundle && bro-pkg unbundle my.bundle - Jon [1] [https://github.com/zeek/package-manager/issues/38](https://github.com/zeek/package-manager/issues/38) ---
