More Than 45,000 Software Flaws Reported as AI Reshapes Cybersecurity

The report states that 2026 is on track to roughly double the number of software vulnerabilities recorded in 2025 as AI tools become more effective at finding flaws; major vendors (Oracle, Microsoft, Google, etc.) are patching far more vulnerabilities. It highlights the expanding availability of cyber AI models (e.g., Mythos, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google) that both improve defensive discovery and risk empowering offensive planning by state and non-state actors, and recommends businesses strengthen defenses as these capabilities proliferate.
