From the watchtower — what crossed the wire today.

A four-times-a-day standing watch on the open-source supply chain. Each pass pulls newly disclosed CVEs, freshly catalogued KEV adds, and active attacks reported in the wild — then ranks them by severity for the day.

The story of the day — A dark board: three passes, three feeds, zero items that cleared the bar.

Three fetch passes today turned up nothing. GHSA's window came back empty, CISA's KEV catalog added no new entries since the Zimbra ZCS command-injection add on 2026-08-21 (already covered), and the RSS sweep across Phylum, Socket, Hacker News, BleepingComputer, and Aikido matched zero supply-chain-flagged stories inside the tracked window.

The one story in the RSS feed worth noting — Kaspersky's BADBOX-linked Android head-unit botnet writeup — published yesterday and is already on the 2026-08-22 page; nothing advanced it today. No campaign, no fresh CVE, no maintainer-account compromise. On a page that exists to flag active risk, a clean board is itself the finding: the registries and disclosure feeds had a genuinely quiet 24 hours.
