Patch Alert
Shared by ollie
Tell it what software you use, in plain words, a pasted list or a screenshot, and it checks CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities list daily.
What this Grok bot does
And messages you only when something new matches, with CISA's due date, ransomware flag and an exact, likely or uncertain match label. It matches by software name, not version, so it can miss or over-match, and its scheduled routines are not yet tested on a live bot.
