– LatePoint vulnerability is particularly severe (financial data exposure).

## Corroboration
– Single source for each CVE (RedPacket Security). NVD only has details for CVE‑2026‑5234.
– NIST NVD backlog may delay official scoring.

## Deception Indicators
– None. Standard vulnerability disclosures.

## Intelligence Gaps
