AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, shrinking patch gap, Microsoft warns

Microsoft is warning that the rapid advancement of AI is accelerating the discovery and exploitation of software vulnerabilities. The company notes that while AI helps defenders find flaws faster, it also aids attackers in discovering them before patches are available, or in analyzing patches once released. This has led to a shrinking "patch gap" – the time between a patch's release and its widespread application – increasing the risk for unpatched systems. AI

IMPACT AI's dual role in accelerating both vulnerability discovery and exploitation poses new challenges for software security and patch management.

    AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery for both defenders and attackers. While defenders can find and fix vulnerabilities faster, attackers can also more easily find vulnerabilities before fixes are provided or analyze publicly disclosed fixes.

    "AIは守る側と攻める側の双方で脆弱性の発見を加速させているという。防御側は脆弱性をより早く見つけて修正できるようになった一方で、攻撃者も修正が提供される前に脆弱性を探したり、公開された修正を分析したりしやすくなった。" "AIが発展・普及する前は、修正の公開から攻撃コードの開発までの時間があったが、同社は今ではそれが“数時間以内”になる可能性を指摘。修正の公開から各デバイスへの適用までの時間差である 「パッチギャップ」 が生じている間、未適用のデバイスのリスクが高まっていると警告している。" https:// forest.watch.impress.…
