 We patch the latest released version line only, so keep an eye on new releases to receive security fixes. See [Security & vulnerability reporting](/self-hosting/security).
 
+You can also lock the versions of the bundled services, for example with `CLICKHOUSE_IMAGE_TAG`. If you do, or if you bring your own ClickHouse via `CLICKHOUSE_URL`, note that Trigger.dev requires ClickHouse 25.8 or newer.

   Trigger.dev 4.5.0 is the last version we officially support for running v3 (SDK v3) tasks. If
