Theoretically, attackers could leverage AI to identify and exploit vulnerabilities not flagged as critical or urgent by frameworks like SSVC and CVSS. However, AI’s role in offensive security is still relatively limited, and attackers don’t necessarily need AI to exploit vulnerabilities quickly. What matters most is reducing the exposure of critical areas in your environment and implementing strong compensating controls. Both attackers and defenders are advancing in AI use, but defensive tools are also evolving to help anticipate and counter new tactics. Instead of focusing solely on vulnerabilities ranked by traditional frameworks, it's essential to prioritize and secure the high-risk assets within your environment, leveraging both AI and strategic defenses.
can't attacker , with aid of ai, go focus on the rest of 96% of critical and exploitable vulnerabilities knowing that SSVS and EPSS are in use?
