 # Changelog
 
+## 0.16.13 — 2026-06-02
+
+New `network-trust` playbook and skill audit the trust-anchor validation beneath TLS that adversary-in-the-middle attacks exploit: DNSSEC not validated end-to-end, DANE/TLSA not checked on capable peers, zone operations without TSIG, mTLS trusting a broad CA bundle instead of a pinned private CA, RFC 9421 HTTP message signatures unverified or under-scoped, DNS rebinding unguarded (SSRF into internal addresses), and unauthenticated NTP whose clock shift can revive expired certificates or shift TOTP windows. It maps to the DNSSEC resolver-DoS catalog entries (KeyTrap, NSEC3) and to NIST 800-53 SC-8, ISO 27001 A.8.21, NIS2 Art.21, and UK-CAF B4. Run it with `exceptd brief network-trust` or `exceptd run network-trust`.
+
 ## 0.16.12 — 2026-06-02
 
 New `mail-server-hardening` playbook and skill audit the inbound mail-server protocol surface that sender authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) and transport TLS do not protect: SMTP smuggling via a non-standard end-of-data sequence, STARTTLS receive-buffer command/response injection, IMAP/POP3 bare-CR-LF and ManageSieve PUTSCRIPT injection, uncapped Sieve `redirect` used as a mail-routing exfiltration primitive, an unauthenticated open relay, mailbox-DAV (CalDAV/CardDAV) path traversal and XXE, and cleartext AUTH offered before STARTTLS. It maps to the SMTP-smuggling (CVE-2023-51764/51766) and STARTTLS-injection (CVE-2021-38371/33515) catalog families and to NIST 800-53 SI-2, ISO 27001 A.8.8, NIS2 Art.21, and PCI-DSS 4.0 6.3.3. Run it with `exceptd brief mail-server-hardening` or `exceptd run mail-server-hardening`.

-Pre-1.0. Latest release lives on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/blamejs/exceptd-skills/releases) and on npm as [`@blamejs/exceptd-skills`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@blamejs/exceptd-skills) with signed npm provenance attestation and Ed25519-signed skill bodies. The package ships 44 skills across kernel LPE, MCP supply chain, AI-as-C2, prompt injection, post-quantum crypto, SBOM integrity, identity-incident response, and 35 other AI/security domains, plus 11 intelligence catalogs (CVE / ATLAS / ATT&CK / CWE / D3FEND / DLP / RFC / framework gaps / global frameworks / zero-day lessons / exploit availability) covering 35 jurisdictions; the CVE catalog holds 439 actively-exploited and high-priority entries, each carrying behavioral indicators, an ATT&CK technique mapping, and a defense-chain zero-day lesson. 26 investigation playbooks (kernel, MCP, AI-API, framework, SBOM, runtime, hardening, secrets, cred-stores, containers, crypto, plus `webhook-callback-abuse`, `cicd-pipeline-compromise`, `identity-sso-compromise`, `llm-tool-use-exfil`, `post-quantum-migration`, `ai-discovered-cve-triage`, `supply-chain-recovery`, `citation-hygiene`, `vc-wallet-trust`, `mail-server-hardening`, and more), a CLI for discovery and investigation built around `discover → brief → run → attest` (each run executes the playbook's seven-phase contract), and a nightly auto-refresh job that pulls KEV / NVD / EPSS / GHSA / OSV / IETF deltas plus 15 primary-source advisory, research-blog, and tech-press feeds (Qualys TRU, Red Hat RHSA, Ubuntu USN, ZDI, kernel.org, oss-security, JFrog, CISA, Microsoft Security Blog, Sysdig, Trail of Bits, Embrace the Red, BleepingComputer security, and The Hacker News) into auto-PRs for editorial review, alongside a silent-regression watcher that flags historical CVEs re-broken without a new identifier.
