| F-code | Section | Item · URL/quote | Verifier summary | Remediation · outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | The record said Palo Alto dropped the three hotfix ETAs without calling the builds released; its revision history says they are released. | Applied: status patch-available, fixed names the three released builds, tag, title, headline, summary, takeaway and section rewritten on the revision-history JSON (new source and evidence), the solution-text… | |
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | The correction removed HPE's hardware and VM note as unsupported; the bulletin page carries it. | Applied: the Exposure sentence restored with its citation, the section's sentence and the record summary's claim removed, report row fixed. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) The correction's negative about the TLS handshake overstates; Rapid7's proof of concept takes the key from the HTTPS certificate chain. | Applied: the section now says that, and the record summary no longer calls the step undescribed. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | The VenariX count of nine and its 2026-08-17 update are not on the live page. | Applied: the sentence lists the victims the live page names, without the count or the date. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) n8n's 11 August update supersedes the sentence cited. | Applied: the sentence gives n8n's 11 August breakdown of the 136 records. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) The DSA's publication date is not on the cited tracker page. | Applied: the date is gone from the entry and the record summary; the tracker record is dated as read, 2026-10-25. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) 'the third PHP flaw the October PHP releases do not fix' is not on the Palo Alto page. | Applied: now 'the new vulnerability PHP announced', Palo Alto's wording. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) 'whose chain is public' can read as exploit code; Horizon3 published none. | Applied: 'whose chain Horizon3 has described', the section adds 'without publishing exploit code', the record summary follows. | |
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | (low confidence) 'the configuration workaround remains the only control' on bookworm is unsupported. | Applied: now 'Debian has not shipped a bookworm fix'. | |
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | (low confidence) The registry additions are 105 products and 28 other records, not 110 and 23. | Applied: report and work notes give 105 and 28 (114 with this fire's nine product records). | |
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | (low confidence) The 05:25Z Palo Alto change fell inside the 2026-10-25 fire, which ran to 05:56:51Z. | Applied: 'after that day's fire had read the advisory'. | |
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | (low confidence) The record says kev_window_diff ran twice, the work notes once. | Applied: twice is correct (two --json calls in one command); the work notes are fixed. | |
| F14 ? | · | (low confidence) 'four QNAP products still unfixed' omits QuMagie, affected without a fix row. | Applied: title, headline and slug say other products; summary, body, CVE records and the action name QuMagie. | |
| F9 surface-contradiction | · | Palo Alto's solution text and revision history disagree about the three builds. | Applied: the section and the sourcing note state the disagreement. | |
| F10 missed-angle | · | (low confidence) Sophos X-Ops SSPR-vishing intrusion: the PRT device-session pivot into federated SaaS is only partly covered. | Declined: three fires and this audit judged it a single-customer case of a covered technique class; the borderline-drop line stands. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Record summaries used field and pipeline vocabulary. | Applied: the non-internal record summaries reworded. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) The sourcing note said entries listed under references. | Applied: reworded to the related PHP, PAN-OS and NetScaler entries. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Two record summaries stated changes their sections did not. | Applied: Metabase section and summary aligned; ConnectWise summary drops the cadence note. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Publica label date disagreed with the record date; the Anaconda URL redirects. | Applied: Publica label undated; Anaconda URL moved to its final address. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Headline still 124 characters. | Applied: cut to 110. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) KEV status with no cited source on the entry. | Declined: bookkeeping on an entry that already said exploited (PD-13); internal records carry the listing date. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) G1 telemetry note contradicted itself. | Applied: reworded to the ledger state. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Pixel page-check lead without disposition; cves_seen dates on entries whose records did not move a CVE record; em dashes in the rewritten Metabase paragraph. | Applied: Pixel disposition added to the report, em dash removed. Declined: cves_seen dates (no CVE record moved). |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | (low confidence) 'released on 2026-10-25' dates the release, while the timeline dates only the revision that listed the builds as released. | Applied: 'listed as released in the revision of 2026-10-25' in the summary and both fixed records. | |
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | (low confidence) The Verdict said Palo Alto released the hotfixes at 05:25Z; 05:25Z is the revision time. | Applied: the revision at 05:25Z listed them as released. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) The VenariX label 2026-08-17 matches neither the live page date nor its update. | Applied: the source record and every inline label give the page date, 2026-08-10. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) Kilo Code's disclosure cited to pages that do not name Kilo Code. | Applied: the clause now cites Anaconda for Kilo Code, BleepingComputer for Framework. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) The log clauses sat under the TeamUpdraft citation after this fire's edit. | Applied: the log and user-table clauses keep Patchstack and Nethemba; the must-use clause comes last with TeamUpdraft. | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) The 9.8 row is said to be only on the verbose matrix page. | Declined with evidence: the raw HTML of cpuoct2026.html (work/2026-10-25T1308Z-audit/deep/oracle-cpu.html) carries the risk-matrix row CVE-2026-101767, Oracle Application Object Library, Core, HTTP, Yes, 9.8; the… | |
| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) 'remove PHP 7.3' goes beyond Synology's statement. | Applied: 'the PHP 7.3 package gets no fix'. | |
| F9 surface-contradiction | · | Title says exploited since 3 August while Kilo Code dates its incident to 2 August. | Applied: the title says 2 August and the correction section states Kilo Code's date. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) 'the brief's copyedit' is ambiguous. | Applied: 'Unit 42's copyedit of 2026-10-23'. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) The internal summary said 120 characters and omitted the wording change. | Applied: 112 characters, restoration stated plainly. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) KEV status with no cited source, repeated. | Declined, as in iteration 1 (PD-13 bookkeeping). | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) QuMagie missing from affected_products, entities and Exposure. | Applied: QNAP QuMagie added there; sync_products registered product:qnap-qumagie. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Unclosed parenthesis, summary beyond section, pre-existing self-references. | Applied: parenthesis closed, summary aligned, the two self-references in the paragraph this fire edited removed; others pre-existing. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Summary said 'third PHP flaw'. | Applied: 'CVE-2026-115560, the new PHP flaw'. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Record summaries narrate evidence-quote fixes. | Applied: those clauses removed. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Row citations point at the summary page; verification stays single-source. | Declined: the page carries the matrix rows (above); Horizon3 corroborates one CVE only. | |
| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory) Publica inline labels still dated. | Declined: inline labels follow the source record date, as the gate requires. |

| F3 claim-not-supported | · | (low confidence) Kilo Code clause still under the n8n citation. | Applied: the clause is split, Kilo Code cites Anaconda. | |
| F14 ? | · | Three statements announced, four corrected. | Applied: now several statements. | |
| F4 hallucinated-fact | · | The internal record said 120 characters and dated the PAN-OS release. | Applied: 110 characters, builds listed as released in the revision of 2026-10-25. | |

| F11 editorial-advisory | · | (advisory, pre-existing) The 2026-09-29 sentence referred to a 2026-08-17 count no longer in the entry. | Applied: it now refers to the nine named in the update of 2026-08-19. | |

Verification & coverage notes
The run record's narrative body, verbatim. This is where the run accounts for its own judgement calls: every borderline drop and judged-not-relevant item with its reason, dedup decisions, single-source items and their carve-outs, contradictions, and per-source coverage gaps, so nothing the run considered disappears silently.

Scope and outcome
Scheduled weekly audit of 2026-10-18T13:07Z to 2026-10-25T13:08Z (anchor: the 2026-10-18 audit, the last with re-sweeps). Thirty-six entries with activity from the week's seven intel fires were truth-checked whole in four passes. Three narrow carry-forward checks covered the fixes the 2026-10-18 audit applied after its only verifier pass. 187 entries whose only in-window activity is records of the cleanup waves 01 to 04 or of the 2026-10-18 and 2026-10-11 audits were left out (v4.22). Result: 14 of 36 clean, 17 with imprecisions, 5 with factual errors. Two of the factual errors went stale after vendor or distribution revisions (Palo Alto's 2026-10-25 advisory change, Debian's DSA-6575-1), and three are composition errors (HPE ranges and counts, the ConnectWise rate figure, a non-verbatim Aikido quote). The narrow checks found one more spliced quote (Bricksforge). One coverage gap was recovered: QNAP's and Synology's PHP2Shell advisories, published as entries/2026-10-25/qnap-synology-php2shell-qts-quts-hero-fixed-others-unfixed.md. Twenty-one existing entries carry one record each from this fire. Details: docs/audits/2026-10-25-quality-audit.md.
Verification & coverage notes
- Claims: an open partial claim from cleanup wave 05 (
2026-10-21T1147Z-audit,partial 2026-10-21T11:47:42Z wave=05) stands onmainwith no later push. The scheduled audit ignores a partial claim (Phase 0 step 2), and this one is more than 48 h old. - Budget: 13 of 20 spawns (four truth passes, G1 to G3, six verifier passes), 7,271,740 sub-agent tokens (
work/2026-10-25T1308Z-audit/budget.tsv). - Verification: six passes over this fire's changed claims, the recovered entry, this record and the report. Iterations 1 to 4 returned NEEDS_FIXES with 13, 7, 5 and 2 truth findings, all remediated; iteration 5 returned CLEAN and iteration 6, a cold pass over all 146 claims, confirmed it. Three report-wording advisories from iteration 6 were applied after it (report text only).
- Guard #9 deviation: while the Phase 1/2 sub-agents ran, the main agent ran
tools/kev_window_diff.pytwice (one KEV catalogue read each) to test its--sincefix. That is structured catalogue JSON, not raw article content. - The truth-pass brief named ledgers
truth-T<X>.ledger.yamlwhile the ledger script wrotetruth-<X>.ledger.yaml; every pass found and walked its file. - KEV: all five uncovered additions of the window (four Plex Media Server CVEs, SiteGuard CVE-2026-106931) carry borderline-drop lines in the 2026-10-21 and 2026-10-22 fires; G1 concurs.
- borderline-drop: Sophos X-Ops SSPR-vishing intrusion (2026-10-19), dropped by three fires and recommended by G3: SSPR abuse is already covered by three entries (Storm-2949, ResetSpy, Storm-3068) and the case adds no new lever.
- borderline-drop: Acronis on The Gentlemen locker (BYOVD drivers), Zscaler on the ARTEX operator environment, Microsoft's CVE-2026-70197 revision text, Kroll and Nord Security periodic statistics, Loxone, Medienwerkstatt, the AfD leak, Ircantec, Alliance Police Nationale, GoDaddy revocations, the Cyberhebdo municipal incidents: below the inclusion gate (reasons in
findings.G1.yaml,findings.G2.yaml,findings.G3.yaml). - Coverage gaps: connectwise-trust-center (403 on every transport; status.connectwise.com is the working substitute); manageengine-metal and greynoise listings undated; apa-ots and prodaft listings client-rendered.
- Reader pool (context): 7 of 10 jina keys live, balance about 62.3 M.
