Here’s how to verify if the security patch is installed on your Mac after updating to macOS High Sierra 10.13.1:

	• Go to the Utilities folder in Applications and launch Terminal
	• Enter this command, them press Return: what /usr/libexec/opendirectoryd
	• If the security patch is installed Terminal will respond with opendirectoryd-483.20.7

If you see a lower number the security update isn’t in place. To reinstall Security Update 2017-001 in macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 go to Apple menu > Software Update and look to see if the updater is listed. If so, install it right away.

If you don’t see the security patch in Software Update, go to Apple’s webpage for the security update and download it from there. You’ll need to double-click the installer after downloading so it can patch macOS High Sierra for you.
