Threat-intelligence-guided hardening: CISA KEV catalog as the fix for endless AI-written bugs

jd_pressman · x · 2026-10-28

Context: jdpressman used an LLM (DeepSeek 4.1 Flash) as an adversary to fuzz his AI-written Apache implementation (vapache) against real Apache2 as an oracle, surfacing an ever-lengthening tail of ACL-semantic logic bugs with no known convergence point.

vokaysh's advice: do threat-intelligence-guided hardening, pointing to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog — 1,760 vulnerabilities exploited in the wild — as the authoritative prioritization input. His core argument: cybersecurity is about cost efficiency; you impose cost on attackers at minimal cost to yourself, and defending against what's actually relevant to you is cheaper and more effective than trying to defend against everything.
