Forge vs. CISA KEV 2026

The reference setup behind our 2026 CISA labs

Every lab is simulated: no exploit code or payload runs. A CVE counts as covered only when its lab recreates the documented behavior, exposes evidence in normal Forge tools, supports containment and recovery, validates the fixed state, and has an automated test.

Ransomware claims we cannot cover yet (8)

A ransomware outcome is shown only when a named, reviewed report ties the CVE to a specific operation. Until then the claim stays flagged here. The 21 generated labs that claimed ransomware now each have a labeled what-if lab with its own objectives and pass/fail gates; those are hypothetical exercises, not confirmed coverage.
