Why it matters
NIST's RFI highlights that AI is accelerating both vulnerability discovery and potential exploitation at scale, straining traditional vulnerability management processes defenders rely on.
NIST has issued a Request for Information on modernizing the National Vulnerability Database in the age of AI, as vulnerability volumes surge (over 50,000 CVEs in 2026 year-to-date) partly driven by AI-augmented research and scanning. The RFI notes that malicious actors may leverage AI to discover and exploit vulnerabilities at scale and asks whether AI should be integrated into NVD data enrichment and risk prioritization.
