modules: add nft_catchall (CVE-2026-23111, nf_tables catch-all abort UAF)

The newest nftables LPE: a use-after-free in the nf_tables transaction-
abort path. An inverted condition (a stray '!') in
nft_map_catchall_activate() makes the abort path process active catch-all
map elements instead of skipping them; a catch-all GOTO element drives a
chain's use-count to zero so a following DELCHAIN frees it while the
catch-all verdict still references it -> UAF, escalatable from an
unprivileged user (userns + nftables) via modprobe_path/selinux_state ROP.
Fixed upstream by f41c5d1; CWE-416, CVSS 7.8; not in CISA KEV. Public
reproduction by FuzzingLabs.
Takes the corpus to 43 modules / 38 CVEs.
🟡 reconstructed trigger, primitive-only, NOT VM-verified — same contract
as nf_tables (CVE-2024-1086). detect() version-gates (catch-all elems
~5.13; Debian backports 6.1.164/6.12.73/6.18.10, 7.0+ inherits) AND
requires unprivileged user_ns clone (else PRECOND_FAIL). exploit() forks
an isolated child, builds a verdict map with a catch-all GOTO element,
provokes an aborting batch to drive the abort-path UAF, observes slabinfo,
and returns EXPLOIT_FAIL — the per-kernel leak + R/W + modprobe_path ROP
is not bundled. kernel_range table verified drift-clean against the live
Debian tracker (the 6.18 branch / 6.18.10 fix is the real forky/sid
backport; the earlier 7.0.10 figure was wrong).
Wired: registry, Makefile, safety rank (35), 6 detect() test rows (version

modules: add cifswitch (CVE-2026-46243, Asim Manizada's CIFSwitch)
release / build (arm64) (push) Waiting to run

release / build (x86_64-static / musl) (push) Waiting to run
release / build (arm64-static / musl) (push) Waiting to run
release / release (push) Blocked by required conditions
CIFSwitch is the newest kernel-7-era LPE not already in the corpus: a
~19-year-old logic flaw in fs/smb/client/cifs_spnego.c where the
cifs.spnego request-key type accepts key descriptions created by
userspace (add_key(2)/request_key(2)) without verifying the request came
from the in-kernel CIFS client. The description's authority-bearing
fields (pid/uid/creduid/upcall_target) are trusted by the root cifs.upcall
helper; with user+mount namespace tricks an unprivileged user coerces
cifs.upcall into loading an attacker NSS module as root. Fixed upstream by
3da1fdf4efbc (merged 7.1-rc5); CWE-20; not in CISA KEV.
Takes the corpus to 42 modules / 37 CVEs.
🟡 honest port — full chain not VM-verified. detect() gates on the kernel
version (Debian backports 5.10.257/6.1.174/6.12.90/7.0.10) AND on the
cifs userspace path (cifs.upcall / cifs.spnego request-key rule), so a
vulnerable kernel without cifs-utils is PRECOND_FAIL not a false positive
(override via SKELETONKEY_CIFS_ASSUME_PRESENT=1/0). exploit() fires only
the non-destructive add_key(2) cifs.spnego probe (no upcall, loads
nothing, revoked immediately) and returns EXPLOIT_FAIL without a euid-0
witness — the namespace+NSS root-pop is not bundled until VM-verified.
--mitigate blocklists the cifs module; --cleanup reverts.
Wired everywhere: registry, Makefile, safety rank (86), 6 detect() test
rows (env-driven precondition override), CVE_METADATA.json + cve_metadata.c
+ KEV_CROSSREF.md (sorted insert, CWE-20/T1068/not-KEV), README + CVES.md

release v0.9.9: install.sh needs no sudo + CVE metadata drift fix
install.sh never escalates to sudo. The installer defaulted to
/usr/local/bin and fell back to `sudo mv`, prompting for a password on
exactly the unprivileged accounts a privilege-escalation tool targets. It
now uses /usr/local/bin only when already writable and otherwise installs
to a per-user $HOME/.local/bin (honoring XDG_BIN_HOME), no sudo ever. An
explicit SKELETONKEY_PREFIX is honored and errors rather than escalating.
The documented one-liner prepends ~/.local/bin to PATH so it resolves on a
fresh login, and the quickstart drops the misleading sudo from --scan /
--audit / --auto.
CVE metadata drift (the failing weekly drift-check):
- CVE-2022-0492 (cgroup_release_agent) entered CISA KEV 2026-06-02;
corpus now 13 of 36 modules cover KEV-listed CVEs.
- CVE-2026-46333 (ptrace_pidfd) gained CWE-269 from NVD (was unclassified
at module-add time).
Refreshed CVE_METADATA.json, generated cve_metadata.c, and KEV_CROSSREF.md;
README + website KEV counts and version bumped to 0.9.9.

modules: add sudo_host (CVE-2025-32462, Stratascale sudo --host policy bypass)
Second new module this cycle; sibling of sudo_chwoot (CVE-2025-32463, same Stratascale/Rich Mirch disclosure). sudo's -h/--host option — meant only to pair with -l/--list — was honored when running a command, so a sudoers rule scoped to a host other than the current machine (and not ALL) is usable via 'sudo -h <host> <cmd>' for local root. Affects sudo 1.8.8 -> 1.9.17p0; fixed 1.9.17p1. CWE-863, CVSS 8.8 (not in KEV). detect(): version-gate [1.8.8, 1.9.17p0] via ctx->host->sudo_version (the host-restricted rule itself isn't probeable unprivileged, so VULNERABLE means 'vulnerable sudo present'). exploit(): discovers an abusable host-restricted rule from readable sudoers (or SKELETONKEY_SUDO_HOST), witnesses with 'sudo -n -h <host> id -u', pops 'sudo -h <host> /bin/bash' (SKELETONKEY_SUDO_CMD) only on a uid-0 witness; honest EXPLOIT_FAIL + operator guidance otherwise. Shared 'sudo' family; structural, arch=any; safety rank 96. auditd/sigma/falco rules, NOTICE.md (Rich Mirch / Stratascale) + MODULE.md, 4 detect() test rows.

modules: add ptrace_pidfd (CVE-2026-46333, Qualys ptrace/pidfd_getfd cred-steal)
New module for Qualys's 2026-05-20 disclosure: a __ptrace_may_access logic flaw leaves a process dropping privileges briefly reachable past its dumpable boundary; pidfd_getfd(2) steals root-opened fds / authenticated channels from it. Default-distro, no userns, arch-agnostic (fd-steal, no shellcode). detect(): version-pinned, predates-gate at pidfd_getfd's 5.6 introduction; kernel_range from Debian backports (5.10.251/6.1.172/6.12.88/7.0.7), drift-check clean. exploit(): spawns a setuid victim, pidfd_open()s it, sweeps pidfd_getfd() over its fd table during the cred-drop window, reports any uid-0-owned fd captured from a non-root context. Honest EXPLOIT_FAIL without a euid-0 witness; not yet VM-verified. mitigate(): yama ptrace_scope=2; cleanup() reverts. auditd/sigma/falco rules, NOTICE.md (Qualys TRU credit) + MODULE.md, safety rank 84. Wiring: registry, Makefile, cve_metadata (+JSON source), verify-vm/targets.yaml (ubuntu2204 + mainline 5.15.5 target, sweep pending).

sudo_runas_neg1 and sudoedit_editor's detect() bodies invoked 'sudo -ln' (intending list + non-interactive). Some sudoers / PAM configurations have been observed prompting for a password anyway when the flags are bundled. That meant skeletonkey --auto --i-know could hang on a sudo password prompt during the corpus scan — bad ergonomics for an LPE tool whose whole point is to get root without already having it. Fix: write '-n -l' as separate flags, redirect stdin from /dev/null so sudo cannot fall back to reading the tty even if PAM tries to coerce one. Belt-and-suspenders against any tty prompt during --auto. |

v0.9.4 fixed cve_metadata drift but exposed kernel_range drift which
had been hidden behind it. Applied refresh-kernel-ranges.py --patch
recommendations: 11 TOO_TIGHT findings (false-positive risk — our
threshold later than Debian's earliest known fix) + 8 MISSING (Debian
has fixes for branches we didn't model) across 12 modules.
All changes are strictly correctness-improving: detect() now correctly
returns OK on kernels Debian has on record as patched, instead of
false-positiving VULNERABLE.
The biggest single fix is reverting fragnesia from {7,0,10} (NVD) to
{7,0,9} (Debian's backported fix). I introduced that off-by-one in
v0.9.4 from misreading NVD's versionEndExcluding semantics.
Build's kernel_range drift step now exits 0 with 0 TOO_TIGHT + 0 MISSING.

- Sync docs/CVE_METADATA.json + KEV_CROSSREF.md to match the
hand-applied core/cve_metadata.c entries from v0.9.3. Nightly
drift-check (red since 2026-05-25) now passes. Pintheft's CWE
landed as CWE-787 from NVD (was NULL in the hand-applied entry).
- Fix fragnesia (CVE-2026-46300) range table. Per NVD: bug entered
at 5.11 SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG, vulnerable through 5.15.207 / 6.1.173 /
6.6.140 / 6.12.90 / 6.18.32 / 7.0.9, fixed at .208/.174/.141/
.91/.33/.10. Prior table had one entry {7,0,9} — off-by-one and
missing every other backport. Added predates-5.11 introduction gate
+ test row.
- Update tools/verify-vm/README.md to document the v0.9.x infra:
mainline kernel pinning via kernel.ubuntu.com, per-module
provisioner hooks, two-phase prep→reboot→verify with post-reboot
kernel confirmation, GRUB_DEFAULT pinning.
- Add curl fallback for NVD lookups in refresh-cve-metadata.py.
Mirrors the CISA path's existing fallback. Prevents the silent
Python urlopen hang seen during v0.9.3 prep (55-min stuck on
CLOSE_WAIT socket; 30s timeout never fired).

release v0.9.3: CVE metadata refresh (KEV 10→12) + dirtydecrypt bug fix

release / build (x86_64-static / musl) (push) Waiting to run

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).

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-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.

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).

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. |

docs: post-v0.7.1 surface sync (README + site + ROADMAP)
Three stale surfaces refreshed after the v0.7.1 cut + arm64 release: README.md — Status section was 'v0.6.0 cut 2026-05-23'; updated to v0.7.1 with the new prebuilt-binary inventory (4 artifacts: x86_64 + arm64, each dynamic + static-musl) and the CI hardening additions (ASan/UBSan + clang-tidy). docs/index.html — hero eyebrow chip and footer meta both showed v0.6.0; both bumped to v0.7.1. ROADMAP.md — entire v0.7.x phase added as 'Phase 9 — Empirical verification + operator briefing (DONE 2026-05-23, v0.7.1)'. Captures everything since Phase 7+/8 (which were the v0.5–v0.6 era): the VM verifier, mainline kernel fetch, 22 of 26 CVEs verified, --explain mode, OPSEC notes, CVE metadata pipeline (CISA KEV + NVD CWE), 119 detection rules, 88-test harness, arm64-static binary, arch_support field, marketing site. Plus an explicit 'open follow-ups' list (arm64 verification sweep, SIEM query templates, install.sh smoke test, PackageKit provisioner, custom <=4.4 kernel image for dirty_cow, 9 deferred drift findings) and the 'wait-for-upstream blockers' list (vmwgfx, dirtydecrypt, fragnesia). |

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.

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).

pack2theroot (CVE-2026-41651) + --auto accuracy work
Adds the third ported module — Pack2TheRoot, a userspace PackageKit
D-Bus TOCTOU LPE — and spends real effort hardening --auto so its
detect step gives an accurate, robust verdict before deploying.
pack2theroot (CVE-2026-41651):
- Ported from the public Vozec PoC
(github.com/Vozec/CVE-2026-41651). Original disclosure by the
Deutsche Telekom security team.
- Two back-to-back InstallFiles D-Bus calls (SIMULATE then NONE)
overwrite the cached transaction flags between polkit auth and
dispatch. GLib priority ordering makes the overwrite deterministic,
not a timing race; postinst of the malicious .deb drops a SUID bash
in /tmp.
- detect() reads PackageKit's VersionMajor/Minor/Micro directly over
D-Bus and compares against the pinned fix release 1.3.5 (commit
76cfb675). This is a high-confidence verdict, not precondition-only.
- Debian-family only (PoC builds its own .deb in pure C; ar/ustar/
gzip-stored inline). Cleanup removes /tmp .debs + best-effort
unlinks /tmp/.suid_bash + sudo -n dpkg -r the staging packages.
- Adds an optional GLib/GIO build dependency. The top-level Makefile
autodetects via `pkg-config gio-2.0`; when absent the module
compiles as a stub returning PRECOND_FAIL.
- Embedded auditd + sigma rules cover the file-side footprint
(/tmp/.suid_bash, /tmp/.pk-*.deb, non-root dpkg/apt execve).
--auto accuracy improvements:
- Auto-enables --active before the scan. Per-module sentinel probes
(page-cache /tmp files, fork-isolated namespace mounts) turn
version-only checks into definitive verdicts, so silent distro
backports don't fool the scan and --auto won't pick blind on
TEST_ERROR.
- Per-module verdict printing — every module's result is shown
(VULNERABLE / patched / precondition / indeterminate), not just
VULNERABLE rows. Operator sees the full picture.
- Scan-end summary line: "N vulnerable, M patched/n.a., K
precondition-fail, L indeterminate" with a separate callout when
modules crashed.
- Distro fingerprint added to the auto banner (ID + VERSION_ID from
/etc/os-release alongside kernel/arch).
- Fork-isolated detect() — each detector runs in a child process so
a SIGILL/SIGSEGV in one module's probe is contained and the scan
continues. Surfaced live while testing: entrybleed's prefetchnta
KASLR sweep SIGILLs on emulated CPUs (linuxkit on darwin); without
isolation the whole --auto died at module 7 of 31. With isolation
the scan reports "detect() crashed (signal 4) — continuing" and
finishes cleanly.
module_safety_rank additions:
- pack2theroot: 95 (userspace D-Bus TOCTOU; dpkg + /tmp SUID footprint
— clean but heavier than pwnkit's gconv-modules-only path).
- dirtydecrypt / fragnesia: 86 (page-cache writes; one step below the
verified copy_fail/dirty_frag family at 88 to prefer verified
modules when both apply).
Docs:
- README badge / tagline / tier table / ⚪ block / example output /
v0.5.0 status — all updated to "28 verified + 3 ported".
- CVES.md counts line, the ported-modules note (now calling out
pack2theroot's high-confidence detect vs. precondition-only for
the page-cache pair), inventory row, operations table row.
- ROADMAP Phase 7+: pack2theroot moved out of carry-overs into the
"landed (ported, pending VM verification)" group; added a new
"--auto accuracy work" subsection documenting the dispatcher
hardening landed in this commit.
- docs/index.html: scanning-count example bumped to 31, status line
updated to mention 3 ported modules.
Build verification: full `make clean && make` in `docker gcc:latest`
with libglib2.0-dev installed: links into a 31-module skeletonkey
ELF (413KB), `--list` shows all modules including pack2theroot,
`--detect-rules --format=auditd` emits the new pack2theroot section,
`--auto --i-know --no-shell` exercises the new banner + active
probes + verdict table + fork isolation + scan summary end-to-end.
Only build warning is the pre-existing
`-Wunterminated-string-initialization` in dirty_pipe (not introduced
here).

review pass: fidelity + credits + count consistency for ported modules
Three-agent rigorous review of the dirtydecrypt + fragnesia ports plus
repo-wide doc consistency, followed by a full Linux build verification.
dirtydecrypt (NOTICE + detection rules):
- NOTICE.md: removed an unsupported "Zellic co-founder" detail and a
fabricated disclosure-date narrative; tightened phrasing of the
Zellic + V12 credit; noted that upstream poc.c carries no
author/license header of its own.
- Embedded auditd + sigma rules and detect/sigma.yml broadened to
cover every binary in dd_targets[] (added /usr/bin/mount,
/usr/bin/passwd, /usr/bin/chsh) and added the b32 splice rule, so
the embedded ruleset matches the on-disk reference and the carrier
list the exploit actually targets.
- Exploit primitive verified byte-for-byte against the V12 PoC
(tiny_elf[] identical, all rxgk/XDR/fire/pagecache_write logic
token-identical). docker gcc:latest compile of the Linux path:
COMPILE_OK, zero warnings.
fragnesia: review found no defects. Exploit primitive byte-identical
to the V12 PoC (shell_elf[] 192 bytes identical, AF_ALG GCM keystream
table + userns/netns/XFRM + receiver/sender/run_trigger_pair all
faithful). The deliberate omissions (ANSI TUI, CLI arg parsing) drop
nothing exploit-critical. docker gcc:latest compile: COMPILE_OK; full
project build links into a working skeletonkey ELF and --list shows
the module registered correctly.
Repo docs (README.md / CVES.md / ROADMAP.md):
- Chose to keep "28 verified" as the headline; the two ported
modules are represented as a separate clearly-labelled tier
("ported-but-unverified") that is explicitly excluded from the
28-module verified counts. README + CVES.md + ROADMAP.md now tell
one consistent story.
- Filled a pre-existing documentation gap: sudo_samedit, sequoia,
sudoedit_editor, vmwgfx were registered + built but absent from
CVES.md's inventory + operations tables. Added rows synthesized
from each module's .cve / .summary / .kernel_range fields.
- ROADMAP Phase 8 "7 🟡 PRIMITIVE modules" → "14"; added a "Landed
since v0.1.0" group; moved vmwgfx out of the stale carry-overs.
docs site (docs/index.html):
- Stat box "28 / total modules" → "28 / verified modules" (the 14+14
breakdown now sums to the headline consistently).
- Terminal example "scanning 28 modules" → "scanning 30 modules"
(was factually wrong — the binary literally prints module_count()
which is 30).
- Status line: updated to mention the 2 ported-but-unverified
modules and mirror the README phrasing.
- docs/LAUNCH.md left as a dated v0.5.0 launch snapshot.
Build verification: `docker run gcc:latest make clean && make` —
links into a 30-module skeletonkey ELF on Linux. macOS dev box still
hits the pre-existing dirty_pipe header gap; unchanged.
.gitignore: added /skeletonkey to exclude the top-level build
artifact (the existing modules/*/skeletonkey only covered per-module
binaries; the root one was getting picked up by `git add -A`).

site: revert CVE table → pill grid
The sortable table was denser but lost the visual scan-ability of the color-coded pill grid. Restoring the pill view: two grouped sections (🟢 / 🟡) each showing every module name as a pill. Drops the table-sort JS (~25 lines) and the .cve-table CSS block. |

site: simplify nav + add sortable CVE chart
nav: removed Releases / CVEs / Defenders links — kept only a
right-aligned GitHub link with the Octocat SVG icon.
index.html: replaced pill-grid corpus view with a proper sortable
table — Year, CVE, Bug, Module, Tier columns. Click headers to
sort. Defaults to Year descending. 28 rows covering 2016 → 2026.
style.css: added .nav-github (border-pill style) + table styles
(sortable headers with arrow indicators, hover rows, mobile-
responsive font-size + overflow-x scroll).
JS for sort is ~25 lines vanilla — no library.

site: GitHub Pages landing page
Single-page static site under /docs/, served by GitHub Pages from
the main branch /docs source.
docs/index.html: hero with one-liner + copy button, why-this-exists,
corpus stats + module pills (14 🟢 + 14 🟡), audience cards
(red/blue/sysadmin/CTF), terminal-shape worked example,
verified-vs-claimed bar, quickstart commands, status, footer.
docs/style.css: dark theme matching GitHub's color palette
(#0d1117 bg, #c9d1d9 text). System sans for prose, ui-monospace
for code. Mobile-responsive with grid breakpoints. No JS framework,
no external fonts, no analytics.
docs/.nojekyll: disable Jekyll so the static HTML is served
verbatim and the existing /docs/*.md files stay as raw markdown
(viewable via GitHub UI, not the Pages site).
