Fact-check summary

Verified against the CVE.org record (VulnCheck CNA, published 2026-10-14: CVSS 3.1 8.5, CVSS 4.0 8.4; renovate <44.79.0; Mend renovate-ce, ee-server, ee-worker, renovate-ce Helm <15.6.0; enterprise Helm <10.6.0; refs GHSA-8rqp-w6vc-pf27 and VulnCheck). Quality watch fixed version ranges ('0 through' -> 'before'; ee-server was wrongly 10.6.0) and clarified scoring. The '110868' and '4.0' flags were false positives (CVE id and CVSS version).
