Miggo Introduces VulnDB: Predictive Vulnerability Intelligence for a Runtime-First World

Application security has long been stuck in a reactive cycle: a new vulnerability is disclosed, security teams rush to assess the threat, and remediation is often delayed or misdirected. The problem isn’t just the volume of vulnerabilities, but rather the lack of clarity around which ones actually matter.

In 2023, more than 33,000 CVEs were recorded, with that number growing even faster in 2024. Yet for most organizations, this flood of disclosures offers more confusion than insight. Traditional vulnerability databases list affected packages and general descriptions, but rarely tell you whether a flaw is exploitable in your application, under what conditions, or how to stop it before it’s used.

Miggo Security wants to change that. With the launch of VulnDB, the company is introducing what it calls the industry’s first predictive vulnerability database. Built on Miggo’s deep runtime observability and AI-driven analysis, VulnDB is designed to give security and development teams the ability to understand the exploitability of a vulnerability in context, seconds after it’s disclosed.

“At Miggo, we don’t just count CVEs—we dissect them,” said Itai Goldman, Co-Founder and CTO at Miggo. “Everyone’s drowning in CVEs, but no one’s telling you which ones can actually be exploited through your app.”

Function-Level Context Meets Real-Time Intelligence

The defining feature of VulnDB is its function-level precision. Instead of flagging a potentially vulnerable package or library, it identifies the exact function that introduces risk and maps it to runtime behavior. This allows teams to distinguish between vulnerabilities that are merely present in the codebase and those that are actually accessible or exploitable based on how the application runs.

This context is critical because it transforms the way security teams prioritize their response. A vulnerability that exists in a dependency but is never called at runtime may not need immediate attention. At the same time, another flaw that directly intersects with a key service endpoint should be escalated right away. VulnDB provides that insight in real time, eliminating guesswork.

“VulnDB helps teams know not only what’s vulnerable but if and why it matters,” said Goldman. “That allows them to respond with precision instead of panic.”

Simulated Attacks and Adaptive Defenses

VulnDB goes beyond static analysis. When a new CVE is disclosed, Miggo’s AI simulates real-world exploit scenarios to determine how the vulnerability could be weaponized. This isn’t just an academic exercise. It informs dynamic protections like runtime defenses and evolving WAF (Web Application Firewall) rules that can be deployed in real time.

For Miggo customers, this means protection starts with prevention. The system analyzes, tests, and begins defending against potential exploits before attackers can even begin probing.

These automated protections are especially valuable in high-velocity development environments, where patching may take days or weeks but threats emerge in hours.

Designed for Developers and Security Teams Alike

One of VulnDB’s key strengths is accessibility. The intelligence it provides is not buried in dense jargon or abstract scoring systems. Instead, each entry includes a plain-language breakdown of how the vulnerability works, why it matters, and what conditions must be met for it to be exploited. This empowers both security analysts and developers to understand the threat and take coordinated action quickly.

By bridging the gap between AppSec and engineering teams, VulnDB helps organizations shift from fragmented triage to unified remediation. Developers no longer need to wade through vague alerts, and security teams don’t need to chase every CVE just in case. Both sides are aligned around what’s real and what’s actionable.

“Security isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about knowing what matters,” said Liad Eliyahu, Head of Research at Miggo. “With our Predictive VulnDB, we’re delivering actionable intelligence, not just data.”

Free for the Community, Deeper for the Platform

Miggo is releasing VulnDB as a free resource for the broader security community. This includes function-level vulnerability insights, real-time analysis, and root cause explanations that help teams make better decisions. For organizations using Miggo’s platform, VulnDB also powers runtime protections, live exploit detection, and continuous assurance across the software lifecycle.

This dual model of open intelligence with platform-level automation signals Miggo’s broader vision: to democratize access to meaningful data, while giving teams that need deeper security the tools to act automatically and effectively.

A Smarter Model for a Faster World

VulnDB isn’t just another vulnerability feed. It’s a new framework for making security decisions at the speed of modern software. In an era of ever-growing complexity, AI-generated code, and always-on deployment, teams need more than alerts. They need clarity, confidence, and control.

With VulnDB, Miggo offers a powerful proposition: understand vulnerabilities not just in theory, but in execution. Prioritize what matters. And defend before you’re attacked.

That’s not just evolution in vulnerability management. It’s what the future of AppSec should look like.
