AI-Driven CVEs: A Huge Transformation for Cyber Researchers

We had a great podcast discussion about the impact AI is having on the volume of vulnerabilities, causing NVD to stop enriching all but the most critical CVEs, and having other various downstream effects on threat research. This is a brief clip about how AI is affecting cyber research. Full episode here: https://eclypsium.com/podcasts/bts-72-ai-powered-firmware-hacking-the-future-of-vulnerability-discovery/

We touched on all this and more:
Increased Vulnerability Volume: AI is expected to significantly increase the number of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), potentially quintupling the current volume.1
Systemic Strain: Existing systems for managing vulnerabilities, such as the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), were already struggling and are not equipped to handle the surge in workload brought by AI.2
Ease of Discovery and Exploitation: AI has simplified the process of discovering vulnerabilities and proving their existence.3
Automation of Exploit Chains: While it previously required significant manual effort, it is now much easier to set up tools that can produce a full chain to exploit a CVE.4
Potential for AI in Management: There is an opportunity to use AI on the backend of the CVE process to help automate the manual effort currently required for enriching and managing vulnerability records.5
