Attackers have reduced the time to develop an exploit for a known vulnerability from 125 days to a mere half a day, thanks to the use of AI-assisted development, leaving vulnerability scanners struggling to keep pace, new research has found.
Cogent Research analyzed 69,159 common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) and found that in January 2025, attackers needed 125.3 days to develop a method for exploiting them, according to a report published today. By April 2026, threat actors reduced that time to just 0.5 days by using AI, thus creating significant visibility gaps for security teams during the highest-risk periods following vulnerability disclosure, according to Cogent.
