NIST Adopts Risk-Based NVD Model as CVE Submissions Jump 263% Since 2020
According to a recent announcement from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the agency is fundamentally restructuring how it manages the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). Driven by a massive 263% increase in Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) submissions between 2020 and 2025, NIST is shifting from a comprehensive analysis approach to a targeted,…

NIST, Overrun by Massive Numbers of Submitted CVEs, Limits Analysis Work
NIST said it overwhelmed by the surge in the number of CVEs submissions in recent years, so it is paring back the analysis work it does on the dangerous security flaws. Security experts say the number of new vulnerabilities detected will only grow during the AI era and that the private sector will need to…

NIST Limits CVE Enrichment After 263% Surge in Vulnerability Submissions
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announced changes to the way it handles cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) listed in its National Vulnerability Database (NVD), stating it will only enrich those that fulfil certain conditions owing to an explosion in CVE submissions.”CVEs that do not meet those criteria will still be listed…

LLM-generated passwords are indefensible. Your codebase may already prove it
Temperature is not a remedy: A reflexive objection from practitioners familiar with LLM configuration holds that increasing sampling temperature would attenuate these distributional biases by flattening the probability landscape from which characters are drawn. Irregular’s empirical results are unambiguous in refuting this intuition. Testing conducted at temperature 1.0, the maximum setting on Claude, produces no…

NIST CSF 2.0 and Universalizing Cybersecurity
Over the past decade, the proliferation of standards, controls, and sector-specific frameworks has created a paradox where the more guidance exists, the harder it is to weed through the complexity and build secure systems that comply with that guidance. This is where NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 comes in. CSF functions as a translation layer,”¦…
