Moving at machine speed

In December 2025, a cyberattack targeted Mexican government systems, exploiting 20 known and unpatched CVEs to exfiltrate 150GB of sensitive data, affecting around 195 million identities. The attacker utilized advanced AI tools like Claude Code and GPT-4.1 to swiftly identify and exploit vulnerabilities, outpacing traditional defensive measures. This incident highlights the accelerating challenge of managing vulnerabilities, as the time between disclosure and exploitation has drastically shortened, with many CVEs now exploited within a day. The traditional vulnerability management approach is becoming obsolete as defenders must adapt to a rapidly changing threat landscape by implementing strategies such as proactively limiting exposure, leveraging AI for faster remediation, and focusing on detecting behavioral anomalies post-exploitation. The institutional response, including changes by NIST to its CVE enrichment process, reflects the growing complexity and volume of vulnerabilities, necessitating a shift towards more agile and automated defense mechanisms.
