Developer builds AI tool for vulnerability triage despite limited understanding of scoring systems

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer built a vulnerability triage tool called triage-lens, which automates the prioritization of security risks. The tool uses data from CVSS, EPSS, and CISA KEV to rank vulnerabilities. While the developer initially lacked a deep understanding of these scoring systems, they were able to verify the tool's accuracy by comparing its outputs against real-world data, demonstrating that verification is a distinct and crucial skill from theoretical understanding. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates how AI can assist in developing complex tools even with limited domain expertise, highlighting the importance of verification.

RANK_REASON The item describes the creation and functionality of a specific software tool, rather than a new model release, research paper, or significant industry event.

    I Built a Vulnerability Triage Tool Without Knowing What EPSS or KEV Meant

    <p>In the last two posts I described how, unable to read code, I delegated implementation to Claude Code, built a vulnerability triage CLI called triage-lens, and then let it run Phase 2 overnight while I slept. Both posts ended with the same promise: next time, the substance. Ho…
