The Exploited Present

3 AI-relevant CVEs have reached CISA Known Exploited Vulnerability status — meaning they are actively being exploited in the wild right now. The market debates AI security as a future risk while defenders are already remediating KEV-listed AI/ML vulnerabilities. The top vulnerability bucket is AI/ML framework and library vulnerabilities (378 of 1,458 CVEs). The tools practitioners are hired to use are the attack surface. AI security investment is not a strategic hedge; it is immediate operational exposure.

Active exploitation, not theoretical risk

Recommended actions

What leaders should do next

Treat AI/ML framework CVEs as high-urgency — they are in actively-exploited tools.
Add AI framework dependency scanning to vulnerability management programs immediately.
Use CISA KEV AI entries in board-level risk communications.
