AI systems acting on their own. AI used by attackers. Flaws in and attacks on AI systems. Defensive research.

A chronological reading list. Attribution stays qualified: an affected AI product is not evidence of an AI-assisted attack, and an AI system's own action is not an outside attack. Scope is only as broad as the source states.

Context: measured KEV catalog additions

Counts of records in the last complete validated CISA KEV catalog, grouped by each source dateAdded month (UTC calendar month). The denominator is the disclosed current catalog, not the editorial sample. This measures catalog additions represented in that snapshot, not worldwide attacks, discovery dates, zero-days, or causation by AI; removals can change historical counts.

Catalog snapshot: Oct 23, 2026. 1756 catalog records.
