How AI Agents Automate CVE Vulnerability Research

How AI Agents Automate CVE Vulnerability Research

The CVE Researcher is a multi-agent AI pipeline that automates vulnerability research, detection template generation, and exploitation analysis. Built on Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK), it coordinates specialized AI models through four phases — deep research, technology reconnaissance, actor-critic template generation, and exploitation analysis — to produce production-ready Nuclei detection ...

What’s Running on That Port? Introducing Nerva for Service Fingerprinting

What’s Running on That Port? Introducing Nerva for Service Fingerprinting

Nerva is a high-performance, open-source CLI tool that identifies what services are running on open network ports. It fingerprints 120+ protocols across TCP, UDP, and SCTP, averaging 4x faster than nmap -sV with 99% detection accuracy. Written in Go as a single binary, Nerva helps security teams rapidly move from ... Read More

AI-Powered CVE Research: Winning the Race Against Emerging Vulnerabilities

The Vulnerability Time Gap When CISA adds a new CVE to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, a clock starts ticking. Security teams must understand the vulnerability, determine if they are exposed, and deploy detection mechanisms before adversaries weaponize the flaw. This process traditionally takes days or weeks of manual research ... Read More

MCP Server Security: The Hidden AI Attack Surface

MCP Server Security: The Hidden AI Attack Surface

TL;DR – MCP servers – the integration layer connecting AI assistants to external tools and data – are a significant and underexplored attack surface. Our research demonstrates that both locally hosted and third-party MCP servers can be exploited to execute arbitrary code, exfiltrate sensitive data, and manipulate user behavior, often ... Read More

Gone Phishing, Got a Token: When Separate Flaws Combine

TL;DR: Two medium-severity flaws, an unsecured email API endpoint and verbose error messages exposing OAuth tokens, chain together to enable authenticated phishing that bypasses all email security controls, persistent access to Microsoft 365 environments, and full infrastructure compromise. Neither flaw alone would be critical; combined, they’re devastating. Modern web applications ... Read More
