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).

<em>your</em> host.

<h3>Red team / pentesters</h3>

<code>--auto</code> picks the safest exploit and runs it. Honest
|
|
scope reporting — never claims root it didn't actually get.
|
|
Per-exploit OPSEC notes tell you what telemetry you'll leave.
|
|
No more curating stale PoC repos.

<h3>Blue team / SOC</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
One command ships SIEM coverage for the entire corpus.
|
|
<code>--explain</code> renders a triage briefing per CVE with
|
|
CWE / ATT&CK / KEV / OPSEC — paste into the ticket.
|
|
KEV-prioritized so you fix what attackers are already using.

<code>--scan</code> works without sudo. JSON output for CI
|

gates. Fleet-scan helper bundled. Compatible with everything
|
|
back to glibc 2.17 via the static-musl binary. No SaaS,
|
|
no analytics, no cloud accounts.

34 CVEs, 10-year span, each with the original PoC author

credited and the kernel-range citation auditable.
|

<code>--explain</code> shows the reasoning chain; detection
|
|
rules let you practice both sides. Source is the documentation.

<h3>The verified-vs-claimed bar</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Most public PoC repos hardcode offsets for one kernel build and
|
|
silently break elsewhere. <strong>SKELETONKEY refuses to ship
|
|
fabricated offsets.</strong> The shared <code>--full-chain</code>
|
|
finisher returns <code>EXPLOIT_OK</code> only when a setuid
|
|
bash sentinel file <em>actually appears</em>. Modules with a
|
|
primitive but no portable cred-overwrite chain default to
|
|
firing the primitive + grooming the slab + recording a witness,
|
|
then return <code>EXPLOIT_FAIL</code> with diagnostic.
|
|
Operators populate the offset table once per kernel via
|
|
<code>--dump-offsets</code> and upstream the entry via PR.
