The premise
AI is great at reading CVE prose and mapping it to your code, but exploitability calls still need a human.
What AI does well here
- Summarize a CVE in two sentences with affected versions.
- Search your codebase for actual call sites of the vulnerable function.
- Draft an upgrade PR with rollback notes.
What AI cannot do
- Confirm whether your network configuration makes the CVE reachable.
- Estimate real-world exploit likelihood for your business.
