StackPatch V2 — 5 distros, KEV/EPSS-ranked, hourly match cycle

When the next CVE drops, you will know in 5 minutes if you are affected and exactly how to mitigate it.

Indie-priced patch ops for solo SaaS founders, small dev shops, and self-hosters who run their own infrastructure. Continuous CVE feed matched to yourservers' actual stack, then ranked by what's actually being exploited (CISA KEV + EPSS) so you fix the few that matter first. Specific recommended actions, not vague threat scores.

Built by the team that mitigated CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail) on our own VPS in 30 minutes today, before most of the people we'd be selling to had even read the advisory.

Free quickscan — no signup, no payment, runs in your terminal

See which CVEs hit your installed packages in 30 seconds

One command. It reads your distro, kernel, and dpkg package list, matches them against USN/DSA/NVD, and prints the exact apt installfix for each match. Read-only — it does not modify your system, and the script is plain text so you can read it before running it.

$ curl -fsSL https://mindsparkstack.com/scan.sh | bash

Anonymous: the request carries only your distro/kernel/package list — no hostname, SSH keys, or env vars — and nothing about the scan is stored server-side.

Public proof — not a marketing stat

How we handled CVE-2026-31431 (Copy Fail) on our own production VPS today

CVSS 7.8 local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's algif_aead module. Disclosed publicly 2026-04-29. A 732-byte Python script roots most Linux distros shipped since 2017. Here is the timeline from our audit log:

  1. 11:07 UTC

    Hostinger advisory hits our inbox

    Email confirmed legitimate via Gmail audit (sender team@info.hostinger.com)

  2. 07:30 UTC

    CVE verified across 4 authoritative sources

    NVD + Ubuntu USN + openwall oss-security + CERT-EU before running anything

  3. 07:30 UTC

    Persistent modprobe blacklist applied

    /etc/modprobe.d/cve-2026-31431-copyfail.conf with blacklist + install /bin/false

  4. 07:32 UTC

    Mitigation verified

    modprobe algif_aead now exits 1 with /bin/false. Module unloadable.

  5. 07:32 UTC

    Kernel-patch watcher installed

    Hourly cron compares running vs installed kernel; Telegram alert when patched ships

  6. 12:10 UTC

    Public blog post live

    Full writeup with bug details + the LLM-supply-chain angle

The full writeup is at /blog/cve-2026-31431-copy-fail-llm-infra. StackPatch productizes exactly this response pattern for your servers, not just ours.

We run StackPatch on our own VPS as customer #0. Today it found 4 real outstanding CVEs we hadn't seen.

We patched 3 in real time (OpenSSH client/server/sftp-server — CVE-2026-35414 + CVE-2026-35387). The fourth requires Ubuntu Pro / ESM and is correctly flagged as outstanding. The matcher runs every hour. The audit log is public.

What StackPatch does

Continuous CVE feed matched to YOUR stack

Most tools tell you a CVE exists. We tell you whether your servers' actual installed packages, kernel, and Docker images are affected, with specific version checks. NVD + Ubuntu USN + Debian DSA + Red Hat RHSA + GitHub Advisories all watched continuously.

Ranked by what's actually being exploited

Every match is cross-referenced against CISA KEV (the actively-exploited-in-the-wild catalog) and FIRST EPSS (probability of exploitation in the next 30 days). KEV hits are flagged 'actively exploited', sorted to the top, and ransomware-linked ones are called out separately — so a wall of 40 CVEs becomes 'patch these 3 tonight.' This is the prioritization enterprise scanners gate behind a sales call, and it runs on the free scan.

Specific recommended action, not a threat score

When a CVE matches, you get the exact command to run, the modprobe blacklist syntax, the apt package version to upgrade to, the docker pull tag — not 'review and assess severity.' Optional auto-apply with explicit per-CVE approval and a full audit log.

Audit log your own customers can see

Every alert, every mitigation, every kernel update — timestamped and exportable. Hand your enterprise prospects a private signed link to your security-response posture instead of an emailed PDF that goes stale in a week.

SSH read-only or lightweight agent

Trust model is your choice. SSH read-only means we connect with your public key on our schedule. Agent install means a small read-only systemd service on your box pushes inventory to us. Both options ship with the V1 MVP. Both can be revoked instantly.

On the roadmap

What we're building next

Every item below is grounded in 2025-2026 vulnerability research and the high-value features enterprise scanners gate behind a sales call — brought down to indie pricing. These are honestly labeled by status, not sold as already shipped. Solo and up get them as they land, no V2 paywall.

Building

In-use vs dormant CVE filter

Split every finding into 'in-use — patch now' and 'dormant — installed but nothing loads it,' so a 40-CVE wall collapses to the few that touch live traffic. The reachability filtering Sysdig and Snyk gate behind a sales call.

Building

"unattended-upgrades won't save you" report

Auto-updates skip reboot-required kernel CVEs and silently hold packages. We surface exactly which actively-exploited (KEV) CVEs are stuck pending-reboot or held back right now — the blind spot most founders assume is covered.

Next

Reboot-vs-livepatch label per CVE

Every CVE tagged: fixable live, needs a reboot, or a normal apt upgrade. For kernel ones we point you at free Ubuntu Pro Livepatch (free for ≤5 machines) or schedule the reboot — so 'will this need downtime?' is answered before you act.

Next

Container & base-image CVE matching

Most self-hosters run their whole stack in Docker on one box. We match the packages inside your running images with the same matcher we use on the host, then hand you the exact docker pull tag — bundled, no separate license.

Next

SOC 2-shaped compliance evidence pack

A per-CVE timeline — discovered, prioritized, fixed, re-scanned-and-confirmed — mapped to SOC 2 CC7.1/CC7.2, plus an auto-filled one-page vuln-management policy. The artifact that clears the security questionnaire blocking your enterprise deal.

Researching

Malicious & typosquatted dependency detection

CVE feeds are blind to malware. 454,600+ malicious open-source packages shipped in 2025 (99%+ npm), plus AI "slopsquatting." We cross-check your installed npm/pip packages against malware advisories — a different threat class than CVEs.

The missing middle

Indie SaaS founders today are stuck between free OSS scanners and $30K enterprise tools

Free side

oss-security mailing list, NVD feed, vuls.io (open-source self-hosted), Twitter for "Copy Fail" trend

You have to read, parse, decide, and run the matcher yourself. Vuls.io is the closest fit — it works, but it's 30-60 min of setup + ongoing ops + you build your own playbooks. Most indie founders skip 19 of 20 CVEs because of the friction.

Enterprise side

Snyk ($25K-100K/yr), Tenable ($4K+/yr), Wiz ($50K+/yr), Qualys (~$199/asset/yr), Rapid7

Built for security teams with a budget. None of them will sell to a 1-3 person dev shop running a $50/mo VPS. The pricing pages do not even list a tier you can buy, and most carry asset minimums in the hundreds.

Direct indie tools

SysWard ($1/server/mo), LinuxPatch ($9/mo for 10 servers), self-hosted PatchMon

The closest fits — agent-based Linux patch scanners with cheap or free tiers. But they hand you a CVE list, not a decision: no exploit-first sort, no exact apt one-liner per finding, and hourly scanning is gated to their Enterprise tier. You still triage the wall yourself.

StackPatch

Free (3 servers) / Solo $9/mo / Pro $29/mo / Team $79/mo

Managed (we run it), indie-priced, and decision-first: every CVE is sorted by what's actually being exploited (CISA KEV + EPSS) and comes with the exact command to fix it. Hourly scanning on every paid tier, and the audit log is a public URL you can hand your own enterprise prospects. 14-day free trial, no card.

Pricing FAQ

The questions buyers ask before clicking through.

What if I have more than 3 servers?

Solo ($9/mo) covers 3, Pro ($29/mo) covers 10, and Team ($79/mo) is unlimited servers on a flat fee — no per-box metering. Pick the plan that fits and change it anytime from the billing portal.

Do I need a card to start the trial?

No. Every paid plan starts a 14-day free trial with no card. Stripe only asks for payment before the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime in between with no charge.

Monthly or annual?

Both. Annual billing is 2 months free (Solo $90/yr, Pro $290/yr, Team $790/yr). Toggle it on the pricing table above. Cancel or switch anytime — no lock-in.

Will it work on Alpine / Rocky / AlmaLinux / RHEL?

Live as of 2026-04-30: Ubuntu + Debian + Alpine (v3.18-edge) + AlmaLinux (8/9/10) + Rocky Linux (8/9/10). Upstream RHEL paid + Amazon Linux + openSUSE on the V2 roadmap. RHEL clones map to AlmaLinux/Rocky equivalents — same patches. Free quickscan works on any supported box.

Does it auto-apply patches?

Manual by default — we give you the exact apt / kernel-reboot / modprobe one-liner and you run it. Pro and Team add optional auto-apply, and even then every CVE needs explicit per-CVE approval with a full audit log. Trust is fragile; nothing touches your box without a yes.

Refund / cancellation?

Cancel anytime from the billing portal — you keep access through the period you paid for. Charged by mistake? Reply to your Stripe receipt or email agents@mindsparkstack.com and the refund clears within 24h.

What about Ubuntu Pro / ESM CVEs?

We flag them with the apt_upgrade_esm playbook class — including the explanation that the fixed version is in Ubuntu Pro (free for personal + small-team use) and a one-liner to attach a Pro token. Playbook reference.
