Missing 88% of Exploits- Rethinking Kev in the Era of AI
CISA created the KEV catalog in 2021 to spotlight vulnerabilities already confirmed as exploited in the wild.
Miggo’s latest research reveals that the KEV database misses 88% of active exploits found in open source code. In this report, we break down why list-based defense models can’t keep up with AI-driven attackers and how AI Runtime Protection helps organizations evolve from awareness to real-time defense.
Download the full report to discover:
- Why KEV falls short in covering live exploits
- What is missing from today’s static vulnerability lists
- The growing gap between between CVE disclosure and mitigation in the era of ai
- How AI-powered runtime protection can help defend against known and unnamed exploits

The Patch Gap Problem
Time for AI-accelerated exploits to appear after vulnerability disclosure
Runtime Is the Breach Battlefield
How incidents bypass SAST, DAST, and every pre-production control you have.
AI in Production, Security in Post-Mortem
Why 82% of teams are reviewing what happened instead of preventing it in real time.
The Exploitability Bottleneck
What security teams actually need to prioritize faster: proof, not more staff.
WAF Trust Gap & Mitigation Reality
Why 83% of WAFs sit in alert-only mode and what it would take to change that.
