Here's details from the macOS Catalina 10.15.7 download page.
"macOS Catalina 10.15.7 provides important security updates and bug fixes for your Mac.

Also released are Security Update 2020-005 Mojave, & Security Update 2020-005 High Sierra (downloads below). Here's the article on security fixes in macOS 10.15.7 and Security Updates 2020-005 for 10.14.6/10.13.6.

FYI: If you use Nvidia's web graphics drivers for 10.13.6, the Security Update's new build number requires a driver update. (See below for Sept. 28, 2020 Nvidia graphics driver update download.)
 

Nvidia Graphics Driver Update for macOS 10.13.6 (build w/Security Update 2020-005)
Sept. 28, 2020 download page of graphics driver 387.10.10.10.40.139 for macOS 10.13.6.
(No build number listed, but assumed for Security Update 2020-005 above.)
As before, download page info includes this installation note.
"Installation Note: The installer requires System Preferences to be launched during the installation process. Do not manually close System Preferences until after clicking Allow in the Security & Privacy Preferences, later in the process.

The installer also requires rebooting the system after the installation process. Do not launch any other applications until the process is complete and the system has been rebooted.

New in Release 387.10.10.10.40.139"
(No new info, same notes on D/L page as previous drivers, so I won't repeat it here.)

The "Additional Information" tab on the download page has a step-by-step install guide.
If you can't select the page's 'Accept' terms/conditions button, here's a direct download link.
(As of post time, the above driver download page's CUDA link goes to CUDA 418.105 from Feb. 27th, 2019, but the latest Mac CUDA download as of 9/28/2020 is CUDA 418.163 from May 10th, 2019 - or check for a CUDA update in the Nvidia prefs.)
