Collected exploitation and prediction evidence

Risk source coverage

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

Immutable source observations

1 recorded revisions

Each citation identifies one complete source statement. Source modification dates and the time this installation observed them are distinct. Latest history includes records historically associated by source identifiers; a removed alias is not a current equivalence claim. Exact citations show that source record's own earlier observations. Failed reads and unchanged polls do not rewrite history.
