NIST scales back CVE enrichment amid surge in vulnerabilities

The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology announced it will stop enriching every CVE entry in its National Vulnerability Database. Submissions rose 263 % from 2020 to 2025, overwhelming resources, so only CVEs meeting specific criteria will receive detailed metadata going forward.

Weird how some people always target open-source in AI! First it was: “Open-source AI will destroy the world” (spoiler: it didn't and it won't) Now: “Open-source is a cybersecurity threat because of AI” Both narratives are far too simplistic. The truth is that the exact same risks exist in closed-source systems, often even more so. For example, in practice, APIs can create much bigger data and security vulnerabilities than open systems you can inspect, self-host, and secure yourself. And as with software more broadly, open-source often ends up more secure because it benefits from far more scrutiny than private internal systems. The reality is not “open vs closed.” The reality is that AI is raising cybersecurity stakes across the board, and we need to tackle that seriously together.
