CISA Cybersecurity Advisories

https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories

US government joint advisories often co-signed with allied CERTs (UK NCSC, ACSC AU, NCSC-NZ, CCCS CA, BSI DE, CERT-EU). WebFetch is reliably HTTP 403 on cisa.gov (re-confirmed 2026-05-08). REQUIRED FETCH METHOD: `python3 tools/fetch_source.py cisa page https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories`. | 2026-06-20 full audit (v2.62): live=Y, drill=Y. FETCH → api/bridge: python3 tools/fetch_source.py cisa page https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories (then `cisa page <alert_url>` to drill). AVOID: WebFetch reliably HTTP 403 on cisa.gov — skip it entirely. Use the bridge `cisa page` subcommand.. | 2026-07-04: bridge (cisa page) upstream HTTP 403 again — consecutive_fetch_failures 2; 403 is transport blocking (does NOT demote per lifecycle rules). CISA KEV JSON API still works via the bridge. | 2026-07-05 root-cause confirmed: www.cisa.gov dynamic paths (/news-events/*, all .xml feeds, and the CSAF .well-known) are blocked by Akamai bot management (`Access Denied`, `Reference #18.*`) for EVERY UA/header combination tested (chrome/firefox/googlebot/curl/minimal/+Referer all 403) — the block keys off the egress TLS/behavioural fingerprint, so it is unfixable from request headers. Only the STATIC /sites/default/files/feeds/ path (KEV JSON) is served. No reachable alternative for the advisory HTML content (search.gov results are a JS shell needing an API key; Wayback has no snapshots). SUBSTITUTE: `cisa-kev` JSON API for exploited-vuln ground truth + WebSearch corroboration for advisory narrative (covered_anyway). STAYS ACTIVE — a 403 is a transport block and NEVER demotes (hard rule). source_health.py now classifies this `bridge-blocked` (handled), not `needs-demote`, so the routine stops re-flagging it every run. | 2026-07-05 RECOVERED — CISA dynamic content is now reachable. The Akamai 403 on every UA still holds for a DIRECT fetch, but `tools/fetch_source.py` routes cisa.gov through the r.jina.ai reader proxy (server-side fetch, bypasses the Akamai fingerprint) for `cisa page` / `cisa feed`, and through the cisagov/CSAF GitHub mirror (raw.githubusercontent.com, not proxy-blocked) for `cisa csaf-recent` / `cisa csaf` (fully-structured ICS advisories). This SUPERSEDES the earlier KEV+WebSearch-substitute handling — the advisory/directive/news content itself is now fetchable with full detail. `cisa-kev` JSON remains the exploited-vuln ground truth. FETCH now works via the reader-proxy recipe: `python3 tools/fetch_source.py cisa feed https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-advisories/all.xml` to discover items (title+link), then `cisa page <advisory_url>` for the full body. For ICS/OT advisories prefer the fully-structured CSAF mirror: `cisa csaf-recent [N]` (dated index) + `cisa csaf <icsa-YY-DDD-NN>`. | 2026-07-05 admiralty audit: A (primary-authority) — CISA advisories; bridge 403 is a known transport block (does NOT demote per lifecycle rules), host confirmed live via KEV. Status stays active. | 2026-07-09 structured-listing recipe (v3.14): the /news-events/cybersecurity-advisories listing is a JS shell — `cisa page` on it returns only the filter UI. REQUIRED listing fetch: `python3 tools/fetch_source.py cisa feed https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-advisories/all.xml 20` (structured {title,link} items, newest first); drill each item with `cisa page <link>`. Confirmed working 2026-07-09. | 2026-07-10: recipe recovered — `python3 tools/fetch_source.py cisa page` returned 200 full listing (S2); freshest item 07-07, no in-window content. Rotation-gap cleared; fetch_method/bridge path works. | 2026-07-10 (2009Z run): page URL returned only filter/facet UI in static HTML (no enumerated advisory rows); S1 recovered content via the RSS feed https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-advisories/all.xml, which surfaced the in-window KEV addition. Prefer the RSS feed over the page URL for enumeration. | 2026-07-26 weekly quality audit: RUN-TIME RECIPE DIVERGENCE FIXED: the 2026-07-25 and 2026-07-26 fires both logged HTTP 403 fetching the /news-events/cybersecurity-advisories HTML listing while source_health.py probed the record green — because the health probe uses the working feed recipe (`cisa feed https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-advisories/all.xml`), which is what a sweep must lead with too. This is an IGNORED-recipe problem, not a missing one: that feed URL was already this record's rss_url and the 2026-07-10 note already said to prefer it, and the fires still swept the url field. LEAD WITH rss_url. NEVER sweep the /news-events/cybersecurity-advisories HTML listing: Akamai 403s it for every UA. | 2026-08-04 run: FETCH NOTE — `cisa feed https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-advisories/all.xml` returns 30 items cleanly, but the parsed `published` field comes back EMPTY. In-window filtering requires the date path in each alert URL (/news-events/alerts/YYYY/MM/DD/...) or the ICS day-of-year id (icsa-26-NNN-XX).
