Independence

This site is run privately and independently. Views and assessments are my own and do not represent my employer.

Editorial process

Selection focuses on CVEs newly added to CISA KEV or confirmed by vendors as exploited, vulnerabilities above the 95th EPSS percentile with a public proof of concept, or vulnerabilities with wide impact and media coverage. A dossier is written only when it adds detection guidance or assessment.

Primary sources come first. Changes are recorded in an update log, and detection queries are manually verified before they are marked as verified. Read the methodology for the full process.
