Attackers are using AI agents to exploit vulnerabilities faster than security teams can keep up. AIKO Monitor ships patches in under a minute, while the attack is still running.

CVE fatigue

No team has time to read 198 CVEs a day

Exploitation timeline has crossed what patching time was designed for. In 2026, the average vulnerability is already exploited in the wild before a patch is available.

From Vulnerability to Exploitation

TTE measures the gap between CVE public disclosure and first confirmed in-the-wild exploitation. Zero = same-day.

*2026 covers H1 only — 35,872 records in six months, already three quarters of all of 2025. That is 198 new CVEs every single day, and the curve bent upward the moment agents started finding bugs at scale.

AIKO Monitor

Patch the exploit while it's still running

AIKO learns how your application behaves and detects exploitation from live traffic — even when the vulnerability isn’t known yet. It blocks the attack, then drafts and verifies the patch.

Live alert timeline
  1. HTTP desynchronization detected at the API gateway

    Detected · by AIKO

    Conflicting framing made the edge and origin parse /api/import differently.

  2. Hidden request minted a privileged service token

    Stage 1 · by Attacker

    Leftover bytes became POST /admin/service-tokens; the trusted origin returned a privileged token.

  3. Minted token exported production deployment secrets

    Stage 2 · by Attacker

    Seven seconds later, that token retrieved three production credentials from /internal/deploy/secrets.

  4. AIKO blocked the attacker at the edge

    Blocked · by AIKO

    A custom WAF rule stopped 11 follow-up requests to /internal/deploy/secrets; every request returned 403.

  5. Parser-agreement patch draft ready

    Drafted · by AIKO

    AIKO drafted a guard that rejects ambiguous framing before proxying and replay-tested the original payload against it.

WordPress exploit chain created an administrator

A novel WP2Shell variant confused WordPress's nested batch handling and used fabricated cached posts to create an administrator. Its unfamiliar payload passed the site's WAF. Aiko removed the account and stopped it from happening again.

Webhook test endpoint returned temporary cloud credentials

A URL submitted to /api/webhooks/test redirected to 169.254.169.254 and returned temporary cloud credentials. AIKO blocked nine follow-up requests at the edge and drafted a private-network denylist for the fetcher.

Non-staff user exported billing data

AIKO saw POST requests rotating the Next-Action header return 200 from the export action while the same session received 403s from neighboring admin routes. It moved the role check into the action and replayed the sequence; all 17 calls now return 403.

AIKO Infra // For AI labs

Autonomous Red Teaming for your environment, workloads, infrastructure and platform

We attack sandboxes, eval environments, agent permissions and model infrastructure to find the boundaries a capable model can actually cross — before launch.

Get in touch
  1. 01

    Sandbox & tenant escape

    Adversarial testing of agent and RL runtimes for host escape, cross-tenant access, secret exposure, network breakout and control-plane compromise.

  2. 02

    Eval & research containment

    Verify that cyber evals, RL workloads and model-generated code cannot pivot through package caches, artifact stores, orchestration services or the public internet.

  3. 03

    Model asset exfiltration

    Attack the paths to weights, checkpoints, datasets and research artifacts across registries, notebooks, CI/CD, cloud IAM and internal access controls.

  4. 04

    Agent privilege escalation

    Probe tool permissions, delegated credentials, MCP integrations and approval boundaries to turn limited agent access into higher-impact actions.

  5. 05

    Adversarial launch review

    Before a model, agent or infrastructure release, attack the exact production configuration with frontier models and human researchers.
