Affected-version matrix
A structured comparison of vendor guidance, deployed versions, configurations, and unresolved inventory questions.
New defensive service
Rapid CVE Readiness Review
A manual decision-support review for teams responding to a disclosed vulnerability without turning a severity score into false certainty.
Best for
A scoped defensive decision, not a black-box verdict
Teams that need to determine whether a published CVE affects a deployed product or dependency.
Internet-facing services where exposure, ownership, and mitigation status need fast clarification.
Organizations comparing a vendor patch, workaround, isolation step, or temporary service restriction.
Managers who need a concise evidence trail for a patch or risk-acceptance decision.
What the review produces
Evidence you can act on
Exposure summary
Internet reachability, authentication boundary, business impact, and known compensating controls stated separately.
Evidence provenance
Official advisory, CISA KEV status, dates checked, internal evidence, and assumptions kept distinct.
Response priority
A transparent recommendation based on affected status, exploitation evidence, exposure, and impact - not severity alone.
Patch or mitigation plan
Owners, test steps, rollback criteria, temporary controls, maintenance window, and verification tasks.
Decision record
A plain-language summary for engineering, security, operations, and leadership follow-up.
Review flow
A short, bounded process
- 1.Use the free planner and collect the official vendor advisory and current asset details.
- 2.Submit a sanitized description of the affected product, versions, exposure, owners, and timing constraints.
- 3.CheckLink organizes the evidence, flags unknowns, and proposes a response sequence.
- 4.Your authorized engineering or security team tests, approves, deploys, and verifies the remediation.
Safety and scope boundaries
What this service does not do
No exploitation, proof-of-concept execution, target probing, or intrusive scanning is included.
The service does not replace the vendor advisory, CISA guidance, an asset inventory, or organization-specific incident policy.
Do not submit exploit code, secrets, confidential logs, customer information, or credentials.
A review is decision support, not a guarantee that every affected asset or attack path has been found.
Manual intake
Request the review
Describe the system and the decision you need to make. Do not submit passwords, private keys, exploit code, customer data, or confidential logs. CheckLink will review the request manually and reply if the scope is a fit.
