CVE metadata refresh:
- Added 8 entries to core/cve_metadata.c for the v0.8.0 + v0.9.0 module
  CVEs. Two are CISA-KEV-listed:
  - CVE-2018-14634 mutagen_astronomy (2026-01-26, CWE-190)
  - CVE-2025-32463 sudo_chwoot       (2025-09-29, CWE-829)
- Populated via direct curl when refresh-cve-metadata.py's Python urlopen
  hung on CISA's HTTP/2 endpoint for ~55 min — same data, different
  transport.

dirtydecrypt module bug fix:
- dd_detect() was wrongly gating 'predates the bug' on kernel < 7.0
- Per NVD CVE-2026-31635: bug entered at 6.16.1 stable; vulnerable
  through 6.18.22 / 6.19.12 / 7.0-rc7; fixed at 6.18.23 / 6.19.13 / 7.0
- Fix: predates-gate now uses 6.16.1; patched_branches[] adds {6,18,23}
- Re-verified: dirtydecrypt now correctly returns VULNERABLE on mainline
  6.19.7 instead of OK. Previously a false negative on real vulnerable
  kernels.

Footer goes from '10 in CISA KEV' to '12 in CISA KEV'. Verified count
stays at 28 but dirtydecrypt's record is now a TRUE VULNERABLE match
(was OK match).

leviathan d52fcd5512 docs: sweep stale counts to match v0.9.2 binary state
Audit found several user-facing surfaces still carrying old numbers
from earlier releases. Brought everything in line with the binary's
authoritative footer ('39 modules · 10 KEV · 28 verified · 7 any').

README.md:
- Status section: v0.9.0 → v0.9.2 framing; describe the 22 → 28
  verification arc (v0.9.1 + v0.9.2)
- '119 detection rules' → 151 (current bundled count)
- '10 of 26 KEV-listed' → '10 of 34'
- 'Not yet verified (4 of 26 CVEs)' → '(6 of 34 CVEs)' with the new
  honest list (vmwgfx, dirty_cow, mutagen_astronomy, pintheft,
  vsock_uaf, fragnesia) and the reason each is blocked
- Example --auto output: 31 → 39 modules

docs/index.html:
- '22 of 26 CVEs confirmed' → '28 of 34', mainline kernel list expanded
  (5.4.0-26 / 5.15.5 / 6.1.10 / 6.19.7)
- Corpus section '26 CVEs across 10 years' → '34 CVEs'
- '26 CVEs, 10-year span' (author list intro) → '34 CVEs'
- Footer feature list '22 of 26' → '28 of 34'
- KEV stat chip 11 → 10 (matches binary; the anticipated 11th from
  metadata refresh hasn't been added yet)
- '119 detection rules' → '151' (two occurrences)

docs/og.svg + og.png:
- KEV chip 11 → 10 (matches binary)

CVES.md:
- '31 modules' → '39 modules covering 34 CVEs'
- Rewrote the unverified-rows note to match the actual 6-module list

No content changes to RELEASE_NOTES.md or ROADMAP.md — those entries
correctly describe state at the time they were written.

Verifies CVE-2026-31635 dirtydecrypt's OK path on a kernel that
predates the bug: 'kernel predates the rxgk RESPONSE-handling code
added in 7.0' — match. Confirms detect() doesn't false-positive on
older 6.x kernels.

Attempted fragnesia (CVE-2026-46300) but mainline 7.0.5 .debs depend
on libssl3t64 / libelf1t64 (t64-transition libs from Ubuntu 24.04+ /
Debian 13+). No Parallels-supported Vagrant box ships those yet —
dpkg --force-depends leaves the kernel package in iHR state with no
/boot/vmlinuz. Marked manual: true with rationale.

Verifier infrastructure: pin-mainline now uses dpkg --force-depends as
a fallback so partial-install state can at least be inspected.

Five more CVEs empirically confirmed end-to-end against real Linux VMs:
- CVE-2019-14287 sudo_runas_neg1 (Ubuntu 18.04 + sudoers grant)
- CVE-2020-29661 tioscpgrp        (Ubuntu 20.04 pinned to 5.4.0-26)
- CVE-2024-26581 nft_pipapo       (Ubuntu 22.04 + mainline 5.15.5)
- CVE-2025-32463 sudo_chwoot      (Ubuntu 22.04 + sudo 1.9.16p1 from source)
- CVE-2025-6019  udisks_libblockdev (Debian 12 + udisks2 + polkit rule)

Required real plumbing work:
- Per-module provisioner hook (tools/verify-vm/provisioners/<module>.sh)
- Two-phase provision in verify.sh (prep → reboot if needed → verify)
  fixes silent-fail where new kernel installed but VM never rebooted
- GRUB_DEFAULT pinning in both pin-kernel and pin-mainline blocks
  (kernel downgrades like 5.4.0-169 → 5.4.0-26 now actually boot the target)
- Old-mainline URL fallback in pin-mainline (≤ 4.15 debs at /v$KVER/ not /amd64/)

mutagen_astronomy marked manual: true — mainline 4.14.70 kernel-panics on
Ubuntu 18.04's rootfs ('Failed to execute /init (error -8)' — kernel config
mismatch). Genuinely needs a CentOS 6 / Debian 7 image.

leviathan d84b3b0033 release v0.9.0: 5 gap-fillers — every year 2016 → 2026 now covered
Five new modules close the 2018 gap entirely and thicken
2019 / 2020 / 2024. All five carry the full 4-format detection-rule
corpus + opsec_notes + arch_support + register helpers.

CVE-2018-14634 — mutagen_astronomy (Qualys, closes 2018)
  create_elf_tables() int wrap → SUID-execve stack corruption.
  CISA KEV-listed Jan 2026 despite the bug's age; legacy RHEL 7 /
  CentOS 7 / Debian 8 fleets still affected. 🟡 PRIMITIVE.
  arch_support: x86_64+unverified-arm64.

CVE-2019-14287 — sudo_runas_neg1 (Joe Vennix)
  sudo -u#-1 → uid_t underflow → root despite (ALL,!root) blacklist.
  Pure userspace logic bug; the famous Apple Information Security
  finding. detect() looks for a (ALL,!root) grant in sudo -ln output;
  PRECOND_FAIL when no such grant exists for the invoking user.
  arch_support: any (4 -> 5 userspace 'any' modules).

CVE-2020-29661 — tioscpgrp (Jann Horn / Project Zero)
  TTY TIOCSPGRP ioctl race on PTY pairs → struct pid UAF in
  kmalloc-256. Affects everything through Linux 5.9.13. 🟡 PRIMITIVE
  (race-driver + msg_msg groom). Public PoCs from grsecurity /
  spender + Maxime Peterlin.

CVE-2024-50264 — vsock_uaf (a13xp0p0v / Pwnie Award 2025 winner)
  AF_VSOCK connect-race UAF in kmalloc-96. Pwn2Own 2024 + Pwnie
  2025 winner. Reachable as plain unprivileged user (no userns
  required — unusual). Two public exploit paths: @v4bel+@qwerty
  kernelCTF (BPF JIT spray + SLUBStick) and Alexander Popov / PT
  SWARM (msg_msg). 🟡 PRIMITIVE.

CVE-2024-26581 — nft_pipapo (Notselwyn II, 'Flipping Pages')
  nft_set_pipapo destroy-race UAF. Sibling to nf_tables
  (CVE-2024-1086) from the same Notselwyn paper. Distinct bug in
  the pipapo set substrate. Same family signature. 🟡 PRIMITIVE.

Plumbing changes:

  core/registry.h + registry_all.c — 5 new register declarations
    + calls.
  Makefile — 5 new MUT/SRN/TIO/VSK/PIP module groups in MODULE_OBJS.
  tests/test_detect.c — 7 new test rows covering the new modules
    (above-fix OK, predates-the-bug OK, sudo-no-grant PRECOND_FAIL).
  tools/verify-vm/targets.yaml — verifier entries for all 5 with
    honest 'expect_detect' values based on what Vagrant boxes can
    realistically reach (mutagen_astronomy gets OK on stock 18.04
    since 4.15.0-213 is post-fix; sudo_runas_neg1 gets PRECOND_FAIL
    because no (ALL,!root) grant on default vagrant user; tioscpgrp
    + nft_pipapo VULNERABLE with kernel pins; vsock_uaf flagged
    manual because vsock module rarely available on CI runners).
  tools/refresh-cve-metadata.py — added curl fallback for the CISA
    KEV CSV fetch (urlopen times out intermittently against CISA's
    HTTP/2 endpoint).

Corpus growth across v0.8.0 + v0.9.0:

                v0.7.1    v0.8.0    v0.9.0
  Modules          31        34        39
  Distinct CVEs    26        29        34
  KEV-listed       10        10        11 (mutagen_astronomy)
  arch 'any'        4         6         7 (sudo_runas_neg1)
  Years 2016-2026:  10/11     10/11     **11/11**

Year-by-year coverage:

  2016: 1   2017: 1   2018: 1   2019: 2   2020: 2
  2021: 5   2022: 5   2023: 8   2024: 3   2025: 2   2026: 4

CVE-2018 gap → CLOSED. Every year from 2016 through 2026 now has
at least one module.

Surfaces updated:
  - README.md: badge → 22 VM-verified / 34, Status section refreshed
  - docs/index.html: hero eyebrow + footer → v0.9.0, hero tagline
    'every year 2016 → 2026', stats chips → 39 / 22 / 11 / 151
  - docs/RELEASE_NOTES.md: v0.9.0 entry added on top with year
    coverage matrix + per-module breakdown; v0.8.0 + v0.7.1 entries
    preserved below
  - docs/og.svg + og.png: regenerated with new numbers + 'Every
    year 2016 → 2026' tagline

CVE metadata refresh (tools/refresh-cve-metadata.py) deferred to
follow-up — CISA KEV CSV + NVD CVE API were timing out during the
v0.9.0 push window. The 5 new CVEs will return NULL from
cve_metadata_lookup() until the refresh runs (—module-info simply
skips the WEAKNESS/THREAT INTEL header for them; no functional
impact). Re-run 'tools/refresh-cve-metadata.py' when network
cooperates.

Tests: macOS local 33/33 kernel_range pass; detect-test stubs (88
total) build clean; ASan/UBSan + clang-tidy CI jobs still green
from the v0.7.x setup.

leviathan 6e0f811a2c README + site + binary: surface 22-of-26 VM-verified count
Updates the visible 'how trustworthy is this' signal across all three
touchpoints after the verifier sweep landed 22 modules confirmed in
real Linux VMs:

README.md
  - Badge: '28 verified + 3 ported' → '22 VM-verified / 26'.
  - Headline tagline: emphasizes the 22-of-26 empirical confirmation.
  - 'Corpus at a glance' restructured: tier counts unchanged, but the
    stale '3 ported-but-unverified' subsection is replaced by a new
    'Empirical verification' table breaking the 22 records down by
    distro/kernel.
  - 'Status' section refreshed for v0.6.0 reality: 88 tests + 22
    verifications + mainline kernel fetch + --explain + KEV/CWE/ATT&CK
    metadata + 119 detection rules. The four still-unverified entries
    (vmwgfx, dirty_cow, dirtydecrypt, fragnesia) are listed with their
    blocking reasons.

docs/index.html
  - Hero stats row gets a new '22 ✓ VM-verified' chip (emerald-styled
    via new .stat-vfy CSS class), keeping modules/KEV/rules siblings.
  - Hero tagline calls out '22 of 26 CVEs empirically verified'.
  - Meta description + og:description updated.
  - Bento card 'Verifier ready' rewritten as '22 modules empirically
    verified' with concrete distro/kernel breakdown; styled with new
    .bento-vfy class for emerald accent (matches the stat chip).
  - Timeline 'shipped' column adds the verifier wins; 'in flight'
    swapped to current open items (drift fixes, packagekit provisioner,
    custom <=4.4 box for dirty_cow).

docs/og.svg + docs/og.png
  - 4-chip stats row instead of 3: 31 modules · 22 ✓ VM-verified · 10
    ★ in CISA KEV · 119 detection rules. Tagline now '22 of 26 CVEs
    verified in real Linux VMs.' Re-rendered to PNG via rsvg-convert.

skeletonkey.c (binary)
  - --list footer now prints '31 modules registered · 10 in CISA KEV
    (★) · 22 empirically verified in real VMs (✓)'. Counts computed
    from the registry + cve_metadata + verifications tables at runtime
    (so it stays accurate as more verifications land — the JSONL
    refresh propagates automatically).

No code logic changed; only surfacing.

leviathan 5071ad4ba9 site: marketing-grade redesign with --explain showcase + animated hero
Full rewrite of docs/index.html + style.css + new app.js + OG card.

Hero
  - Animated gradient mesh background (3 drifting blurred blobs;
    respects prefers-reduced-motion).
  - Space Grotesk display wordmark with subtle white→gray gradient.
  - Eyebrow chip with pulsing dot showing current release.
  - Type-on-load install command with blinking cursor in a faux-terminal
    chrome (traffic-light dots, title bar, copy button).
  - Stats row that counts up from 0 on first paint: 31 modules, 10 KEV,
    119 detection rules, 88 tests.
  - Primary CTA + secondary 'See --explain in action' + GitHub link.

Trust strip
  - 'Grounded in authoritative sources' row: CISA KEV, NVD CVE API,
    MITRE ATT&CK, kernel.org stable tree, Debian Security Tracker,
    NIST CWE. Establishes the federal-data-source provenance.

--explain showcase (flagship section)
  - Big terminal mockup that types out a real --explain nf_tables run
    line-by-line on scroll-into-view (45-95ms per line, easing).
  - Four annotation cards explaining each part: triage metadata,
    host fingerprint, detect() trace, OPSEC footprint.

Bento grid (8 feature cards in a varied 3-col layout)
  - Auto-pick safest exploit (large card with code sample)
  - 119 detection rules (with animated per-format coverage bars)
  - CISA KEV prioritized (red-accented)
  - OPSEC notes per exploit
  - One host fingerprint, every module (large card with struct excerpt)
  - JSON for pipelines
  - No SaaS, no telemetry
  - Verifier ready (Vagrant + Parallels)

Module corpus
  - Same green/yellow split as before, but every KEV-listed module pill
    now carries a ★ prefix + red-tinted border so 'actively exploited
    in the wild' is visible at a glance.

Audience
  - 4 colored cards (red/blue/gray/purple) — pentesters, SOC, sysadmins,
    researchers — each with a deep link to the right doc.

Verified-vs-claimed honesty callout
  - Featured gradient-bordered card restating the no-fabricated-offsets
    bar. ✓ icon, project's defining trust claim.

Quickstart
  - Tabbed: install / scan / explain / auto / detect-rules. Each tab is
    a short, copy-ready snippet with inline comments.

Roadmap timeline
  - Three columns: shipped / in flight / next. Shipped lists every
    feature from the last several sessions (--explain, OPSEC, CWE/
    ATT&CK/KEV pipeline, 119 rules, host refactor, 88 tests, drift
    detector, VM scaffold). Next lists arm64 musl, mass-fleet
    aggregator, SIEM query templates, CI hardening.

Footer
  - Four-column gradient footer (Brand / Project / Docs / Ethics) +
    bottom bar with credits to original PoC authors + license + repo
    link.

Tech
  - Typography: Inter (UI) + JetBrains Mono (code) + Space Grotesk
    (display wordmark), all via Google Fonts with display=swap.
  - Palette: deep purple-tinted dark (#07070d) + emerald accent
    (#10b981) + cyan secondary (#06b6d4) + KEV-red (#ef4444) +
    violet (#a855f7) for threat-intel framing.
  - CSS: ~28KB unminified, custom-properties driven; gracefully
    degrades to single-column on every grid section at narrow widths.
  - JS: ~8KB vanilla, no frameworks. Respects prefers-reduced-motion
    everywhere. IntersectionObserver-driven scroll reveal and
    stat-count-up.
  - OG image: hand-authored SVG → rsvg-convert → 1200x630 PNG
    (121KB). Renders cleanly when shared on Twitter/LinkedIn/Slack.
  - 4 new files: app.js, og.svg, og.png; rewrites: index.html, style.css.

Refreshed content:
  - v0.5.0 → v0.6.0 throughout.
  - '28 verified modules' → 31.
  - Adds KEV cross-ref, --explain, OPSEC, ATT&CK/CWE callouts that
    didn't exist in the previous version.

HTML structure validated balanced (Python html.parser smoke test).
