Miggo Revolutionises Vulnerability Management with Predictive VulnDB
Miggo has unveiled VulnDB, a free, predictive vulnerability database designed to overhaul how organisations assess and prioritise software risks. By combining runtime context, exploit simulations and function-level tracing, VulnDB shifts the paradigm from reactive vulnerability tracking to proactive threat prediction, promising to drastically reduce noise from Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures and highlight only those flaws that truly matter in a live environment. At launch, VulnDB distinguishes itself by pinpointing the exact functions that introduce risk and determining whether they are exploitable within an application's runtime. This level of precision enables security teams to focus remediation efforts on actionable threats, rather than sifting through thousands of potential vulnerabilities with uncertain impact. Miggo claims the system begins analysis within seconds of a CVE's publication—tracing, simulating exploits, and providing real‑time insights without human intervention. The platform's open-access offering grants all users technical root‑cause analysis, exploitation conditions, and function‑level mapping—electricity for developers seeking to stay ahead of attackers. Enterprise customers gain an additional layer of protection through dynamic Web Application Firewall rules that adapt based on emerging exploit patterns. ADVERTISEMENT Miggo's predictive approach addresses a significant problem in contemporary cybersecurity: the overwhelming volume of CVEs—tens of thousands annually—that often remain theoretical until they intersect with specific applications. By integrating runtime observability and exploit simulation, VulnDB avoids false positives and delivers prioritisation in line with real-world risk. The company's roots lie in its Application Detection and Response platform, launched last year with US$7.5 million in seed funding from YL Ventures and other top-tier investors. ADR provides visibility into live application behaviour, maps distributed application components, detects deviations and enacts mitigation, enabling precise runtime threat containment. VulnDB extends this capability by delivering predictive intelligence to a broader user base. CEO Daniel Shechter highlights that applications remain a primary attack vector, driven by both architectural complexity and attacker focus on runtime behaviour. CTO Itai Goldman emphasises that 'everyone's drowning in CVEs, but no one's telling you which ones can actually be exploited through your app'. Their message resonates as security teams confront a growing technical debt and shrinking remediation bandwidth. Experts in the security community note that the addition of exploit simulation—a process where potential attacks are modelled in a sandbox—provides tangible value. It shifts vulnerability management from inventory-driven triage to contextual decision-making based on whether a flaw is reachable, exploitable and present in live infrastructure. Miggo's timing aligns with intensifying pressure on organisations to shrink the window between discovery and exploitation. High-profile breaches such as MOVEit, SharePoint and Ivanti have exposed how attackers can weaponise vulnerabilities before manual patching practices can catch up. In such a high‑velocity threat landscape, VulnDB's speedy automation and runtime anchoring offer clear advantages. Miggo also addresses concerns over transparency and data equity by making its intelligence publicly accessible. This open baseline encourages broader adoption, while its enterprise tier amplifies value with live defences and tailored context. Head of Research Liad Eliyahu explains the strategy: 'Security isn't about knowing everything. It's about knowing what matters'. Academic studies on vulnerability prediction, such as the TROVON model, underline the ongoing struggle to differentiate high-risk components from noisy datasets. Miggo bypasses much of this complexity by utilising runtime evidence rather than historical inference, offering a practical complement to academic approaches. Early adopters report that VulnDB has streamlined vulnerability workflows, replacing CVE overwhelm with targeted insights. With free access available now on Miggo's website, developers and security teams are encouraged to trial predictive intelligence and integrate it with existing CI/CD pipelines.

Miggo Introduces VulnDB to Enhance Context-Aware Vulnerability Prioritization
Miggo Security, the leader in Application Detection & Response (ADR), today announced the launch of the Miggo Predictive Vulnerability Database (VulnDB), pioneering the industry's first live database of predictive vulnerability intelligence. Powered by Miggo AI, this predictive VulnDB delivers real-time, actionable insights into emerging vulnerabilities in all types of applications (cloud-native, 3rd-party, and appliance-based). Miggo has developed technology designed to help cybersecurity teams model potential attack paths used to exploit vulnerabilities, enabling earlier detection and mitigation efforts before an exploit is executed. Security teams are currently overwhelmed by an unprecedented volume of vulnerability disclosures, which is further complicated by the exponential growth of AI within applications, leaving them without the critical context required for precise prioritization and mitigation. In 2023, NIST recorded a staggering 33,137 new CVEs, marking the highest annual total ever, with 2024 seeing a further 32% surge that strains the already backlogged National Vulnerability Database (NVD). This relentless influx amplifies the urgent need for context. Most organizations simply lack the insight or tools to quickly assess their true exposure and distinguish exploitable threats from background noise, leading to wasted resources, severe alert fatigue, and heightened risk. Miggo's Predictive VulnDB uniquely solves this challenge to fundamentally change how teams access and prioritize their response strategies. The insights provided in the VulnDB include the vulnerable function required to be executed, precise exploitation conditions and techniques, and comprehensive root cause analysis. This deep context, seconds after disclosure, enables security and development teams to not only gain clarity for what they need to prioritize, but also how to respond with precision. 'Everyone's drowning in CVEs, but no one's telling you which ones can actually be exploited through your app,' said Itai Goldman, Co-Founder and CTO at Miggo. 'At Miggo, we don't just count CVEs — we dissect them. It's like finally getting the recipe instead of just seeing the sauce. VulnDB helps teams know not only what's vulnerable but if and why it matters, so they can take smarter action faster.' What Makes VulnDB Different Unlike traditional vulnerability databases that stop at metadata, VulnDB provides: Function-Level Vulnerability Tracing: Miggo analyzes each CVE to pinpoint the exact vulnerable function within the dependency that introduces the risk, not just the package or module. Traditional DBs might say, "There's an error in this library (somewhere)." Miggo's function-level analysis says, "The error is precisely here.' This enables organizations to connect that vulnerability to their code and the actual runtime execution context within their own environment, allowing for true risk-based prioritization. Root Cause & Exploitability Insight: VulnDB provides a clear, technical explanation of how each CVE works, including what causes it and under what conditions it becomes exploitable. This makes it easier for both security and non-security professionals to understand the severity and potential impact. Autonomous Exploit Simulation & Dynamic WAF Protections: Before producing root cause analysis, Miggo simulates real-world exploit attempts through autonomous exploit generation. These insights drive the creation of dynamic WAF rules, which evolve alongside emerging exploitation patterns. Available exclusively to Miggo customers, these rules provide adaptive protection based on live threat intelligence. Miggo's Predictive VulnDB is available as a free resource to the security community. 'Security isn't about knowing everything. It's about knowing what matters,' said Liad Eliyahu, Head of Research at Miggo. 'With our Predictive VulnDB, we're delivering actionable intelligence, not just data. This is the kind of signal-over-noise approach defenders need to stay ahead.' About Miggo Security Miggo Security is redefining application security for the cloud-native and AI era with a runtime-aware platform that provides deep security observability, context-driven prioritization, and automated protection without slowing down development. Miggo's patent-pending DeepTracing technology connects the dots between vulnerabilities, APIs, and real-time behavior to help organizations secure what matters most.
