Generative AI models are now capable of rapidly creating exploit code from software patches, significantly reducing the time attackers need to weaponize vulnerabilities. Security researchers demonstrated that models like GPT-4 and Claude can analyze vulnerability disclosures and code differences to develop working exploits within hours, a process that previously required extensive specialized knowledge and manual effort. This automation of exploit creation drastically shrinks the window of opportunity for defenders to patch systems. Consequently, organizations must prioritize swift patching and adopt a security posture that assumes immediate potential for exploitation upon vulnerability disclosure. The increasing speed and coordination of threat actors, amplified by AI, necessitate a heightened state of readiness and automation in defense strategies.
