Exploit Intelligence Caching

We use smart caching based on risk level:

Risk Level	Cache Duration	Reason
CRITICAL_GAP	24 hours	Detection rules may be added
HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW	Permanent	Status is stable (detection/exploits don't get removed)

Limitations

Our detection coverage checks are not exhaustive:

• We check major open-source tools, not commercial products
• A "no detection" result doesn't mean detection is impossible - just that we couldn't find it in our sources
• Exploit availability doesn't mean your specific environment is vulnerable
• Always verify findings with your security team
