Lucee Server has been updated to 5.3.8.201 and JBoss Undertow has been updated to 2.2.10.Final. The Lucee update, as usual, applies to the CLI as well as the default server you get when you run server start.

Remember the && operator will only execute the second command if the first command returns an exit code of 0.
