Meet a KEV deadline

Find CISA KEV due dates that apply to your dependencies, order the work by days remaining, and record a position when a date cannot be met.

Updated 02 Nov 2026Checked against mcp-server@1725a04

The CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue is a security list with a date attached. For US federal agencies under BOD 22-01 it is binding; for everyone else it is the strongest public signal that something is used against real systems.

What has been added

What was added to the KEV catalogue recently?

vulnetix_kev pages the catalogues (limit up to 200):

{
  "count": 1247,
  "sources": ["CISA", "vulnetix", "enisa", "vulncheck"],
  "hasMore": true,
  "items": [{
    "cveId": "CVE-2026-XXXXX",
    "vendor": "Microsoft",
    "product": "Windows",
    "dateAdded": "2026-08-10T06:01:14Z",
    "dueDate": "2026-08-31T00:00:00Z",
    "knownRansomware": "Known",
    "requiredAction": "Apply mitigations per vendor instructions..."
  }]
}

Does it apply to you

For one advisory, vulnetix_kev_status is the direct check. For your whole dependency tree, ask the agent to intersect the catalogue with your manifests:

List the KEV entries added in the last 30 days. For each, check with vulnetix_package_vulns whether
any package in this repository's lockfiles is affected at the installed version.

For a specific advisory against this repository:

/mcp__vulnetix__vulnetix_repo_impact CVE-2026-XXXXX

Order by what is due

Sort by dueDate, not severity. A CVSS 7.5 due in six days outranks a CVSS 9.8 with no deadline.

vulnetix_remediation marks overdue entries:

"kevEntries": [{
  "dateAdded": "2021-12-10T00:00:00Z",
  "dueDate": "2021-12-24T00:00:00Z",
  "daysUntilDue": -1691,
  "overdue": true,
  "knownRansomwareCampaignUse": "Known"
}]

Close them

/mcp__vulnetix__vulnetix_fix CVE-2026-XXXXX
/mcp__vulnetix__vulnetix_verify_fix CVE-2026-XXXXX

verify_fix re-scans and records the verdict in .vulnetix/memory.yaml, which is the evidence.

When the date cannot be met

  1. vulnetix_workarounds for mitigations without a patch.
  2. vulnetix_detection_rules for detection while exposed.
  3. /mcp__vulnetix__vulnetix_vex_publish to record the justification as a VEX statement.

A documented, mitigated and monitored exception is defensible. A silent miss is not.
