0xMarcio 2b6547ef29 Badge known-exploited CVEs in the repository itself
KEV reached the site three days ago but nothing in the markdown said a
vulnerability was under active attack, and the repository is what most
people actually read. 1,595 entries now carry a red CISA KEV shield beside
their product and vulnerability badges, marked for ransomware use where
CISA records it.

update_cves writes the badge on entries it creates, and the weekly audit
reconciles the whole set against the refreshed catalogue, so an entry CISA
adds gains the badge and one it withdraws loses it. Re-running the sync is
a no-op.
