Discovered on 2026-05-23 via Drupal CVE-2026-9082 coverage — published same-day technical analysis 'Keys to the Kingdom: Anonymous SQL Injection in Drupal Core CVE-2026-9082' (slcyber.io/research-center/keys-to-the-kingdom-anonymous-sql-injection-in-drupal-core-cve-2026-9082/) used as corroborating source by both S2 and S3 sub-agents. Candidate — promote to active after 3 runs with content contribution. | 2026-06-20 full audit (v2.62): live=Y, drill=Y. FETCH → webfetch https://slcyber.io/research-center/ (listing) then webfetch per-article URL for body. AVOID: Listing page does not render per-item publication dates to WebFetch — get the date from the article page itself. Low/sporadic cadence (vuln-research drops, not a daily feed).. | 2026-07-05 admiralty audit: B — original vuln research, high quality; keep candidate (sporadic drops, only one documented run contribution so far — promote once it clears the 3-contribution bar). | 2026-07-18 weekly audit: contributed primary content again (WP2Shell CVE-2026-63030/-60137 discoverer write-up, cited primary on the audit-recovered entry) — second documented contributing run toward the 3-run activation bar. | 2026-07-26 weekly quality audit: promoted candidate → active on the documented lifecycle bar (cited by published entries from 4 distinct runs; the bar is 3). The promotion had never been executed because nothing counted contributing runs — the digest now emits sources.promotion_due (tools/run_summary.py).
