Artificial intelligence was supposed to unleash a wave of newly weaponizable software bugs on the internet. The numbers, at least so far, tell a quieter story. Despite the alarm surrounding AI vulnerability exploitation, a new analysis by VulnCheck finds that AI-discovered security flaws are being exploited at roughly the same modest rate as flaws found through traditional methods — challenging some of the more dramatic predictions that have circulated since large language models entered the security research field.
Key takeaways
Anthropic’s Claude Mythos identified 23,019 potential vulnerability candidates, but only 126 have been published as CVEs and just one has been confirmed exploited in the wild.
VulnCheck analyzed 1,061 AI-assisted vulnerabilities from Project Glasswing and the Berkeley Vulnerability Research Initiative and found only 14 (1.3%) confirmed exploited — matching the general exploitation rate.
AI-assisted discovery increases the volume of found vu
