Additional checks and retrieval limits

NVD record URLs for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 were attempted but returned no readable record content in this review. No NVD analysis status or independent NVD score is claimed.

A CISA alert, Critical Vulnerabilities in PHP Require Immediate Patching, was located in search. Its full page was not readable through the review tool; we do not rely on it for package thresholds or claim KEV inclusion.

How corrections and future updates work

Collect an official advisory, verify identifiers and affected ranges, record vendor exceptions, prepare the content, run boundary and privacy tests, obtain human publication approval, then release and monitor. Source collection never automatically publishes an alert.

Data is a dated local snapshot, not a live feed. Positive patch results become unverified after the review-due date until the dataset is reviewed. A confirmed old vulnerable upstream release remains flagged. Send corrections privately by emailing Bytova; do not send exploit payloads or customer evidence.
