15-second summary
Assessing the real-world risk of a CVE can be time-consuming and fragmented. CVE Insights Cards provide a 360° view of each vulnerability, but sometimes, you need answers to specific questions.
We’ve added Ask AI to CVE Insights Cards so you can:
- Speed up prioritization by asking questions about how the CVE affects products, industries, or threat campaigns.
- Assess exploitability based on your criteria with custom prompts that synthesize multiple sources into responses in seconds.
- Create customized CVE reports including specific data like exploitation methods, related malware, or recommended mitigations.
With Ask AI in CVE Insights Cards, you can move from consolidated CVE overviews to precise, actionable insights faster.
Ask AI in CVE Insights Cards
CVE Insights Cards offer a comprehensive view of every CVE, continuously updated with real-time information: timelines, exploit and patch data, associated threat actors, malware, and more. They’re a powerful resource for understanding a vulnerability and digging into key details like affected versions or mitigation techniques.
But even with all that data, sometimes you need more: answers to specific questions, support for a custom scoring model, or data formatted to fit your workflow. That’s where Ask AI comes in. Now integrated directly into CVE Insights Cards, Ask AI helps you extract the exact insights you need—faster and with less effort.
Speed up CVE prioritization
CVSS, EPSS, and known exploits can help gauge the severity of a CVE, but they don’t always tell the full story—especially when you’re triaging dozens of vulnerabilities. You might need to understand whether threat actors targeting your industry are actively exploiting it, or how well interim mitigations hold up while a patch is pending.
In this example, we prompt Ask AI to summarize significant risks and then calculate a risk score based on your specified criteria. These prompts can be saved and reused, making it easier to apply consistent logic across multiple CVEs.

Assess exploitability based on your criteria
Knowing a CVE exists is one thing; understanding how easily it can be exploited is another. Exploitability often depends on nuanced technical details buried in write-ups, proof-of-concept code, or analyst commentary. Manually gathering and interpreting that information takes time you don’t always have.
Ask AI can synthesize these sources to give you a clear, plain-language summary of exploitability. In this example, we prompt it to explain how the exploit works, whether it requires authentication or user interaction, and how widely available the exploit code is. You can adjust the prompt to match your environment or use case.

Create customized CVE reports
Every team has different reporting needs. You might need a quick write-up for leadership, detailed technical notes for patch management, or structured data for a risk model. Hunting through multiple sources to pull the right details into the right format can be tedious and time-consuming.
Ask AI makes it easy to generate tailored CVE reports on demand. In this example, we ask for a summary that includes exploitation methods, known malware leveraging the CVE, and recommended mitigations—formatted as a bullet list for easy sharing. You can also export results or fine-tune the prompt to match your reporting format.
