Anthropic Bets on EPSS for the Coming Bug Surge
Anthropic introduced Mythos, an AI model that can discover software flaws at unprecedented speed, intensifying the existing vulnerability overload. To help defenders prioritize, Anthropic advises using the Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), a probabilistic model that forecasts exploitation likelihood within 30 days. EPSS, already embedded in over 120 security vendors’ tools, can filter thousands of CVEs by focusing first on CISA’s KEV list and then on scores above a chosen threshold. Industry leaders see EPSS as a crucial bridge, though some argue it may become outdated as exploit windows shrink to minutes.
