These are normally written by the [EPSS / KEV sync](/triage_findings/finding_scoring/epss_kev/), which runs nightly, after each import, and on demand from the Vulnerability Explorer. You can set them by hand, but treat a hand-entered value as provisional on any Finding that references a CVE: the next sync replaces it with the feed's values, and clears the KEV fields when none of the Finding's CVEs are in the CISA catalog. A Finding without a CVE is never enriched, so it keeps whatever you enter. Hand-set values feed the priority and risk calculation exactly as synced values do. A Rules Engine rule that should react to a hand-set flag needs a condition on **KEV: Known Exploited**; the FedRAMP "route unrated findings for impact review" template keys on **Exploit Maturity**, which comes from the threat-intelligence feed and is not affected by these fields.
