Just 1% of AI-Discovered Vulnerabilities Exploited in the Wild, Research Shows

A VulnCheck researcher reports that artificial intelligence (AI) tools have discovered vulnerabilities at scale, but only 1 percent of those AI-identified flaws are exploited in active attacks. This suggests AI adoption remains unequal across the security defense and offense landscapes.

Why it matters: Security teams should recognize that AI-assisted vulnerability discovery expands their scope of potential risks, but the low exploitation rate indicates attackers have not yet fully leveraged AI to operationalize newly-discovered flaws; defenders currently maintain the advantage.
