In today’s security environment, the average defender is buried under a mountain of vulnerability alerts, most of which go nowhere. Each day brings more new CVEs, each demanding investigation, prioritization, and potential action. And with limited time, limited staff, and limited clarity, most teams are forced to guess: Is this real? Do we care? It’s a guessing game with real consequences.

Now, Miggo Security is revolutionizing vulnerability response with the launch of VulnDB. This innovative platform is the first of its kind, offering a predictive vulnerability database that doesn't just inform after the fact, but provides security and development teams with a clear path to preemptive action, preventing threats from materializing.

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

What’s Wrong With the Way We Manage Vulnerabilities?

The current system is broken. Even well-resourced security teams struggle to manage the flood of disclosures. In 2023 alone, more than 33,000 CVEs were published, with 2024 tracking 32% higher. Legacy databases like NVD are now regularly backlogged. Most vulnerability listings are limited to basic metadata, affected packages, severity ratings, and vague descriptions.

For teams trying to make informed decisions, the current system often falls short. What they need is context: Is the vulnerable code actually used in our app? How would it be exploited? Do we need to fix this right now, or not at all? VulnDB empowers teams to make these decisions with confidence.

That’s the problem Miggo built VulnDB to solve.

Inside VulnDB: Function-Level Context and Real Exploit Signals

VulnDB analyzes vulnerabilities not at the package level, but at the function level. It identifies the precise line of code introducing the risk, then maps it to how that function is used (or not used) in runtime.

That runtime awareness is key. Miggo’s platform determines not just whether a vulnerable function exists in your codebase, but whether it’s accessible to attackers in practice. This allows teams to focus only on exploitable vulnerabilities, cutting down noise and accelerating time to remediation.

“VulnDB helps teams know not only what’s vulnerable but if and why it matters,” said Goldman. “That’s the key to taking smarter action faster.”

VulnDB also includes:

• Clear, technical root cause analysis
• Conditions under which each vulnerability becomes exploitable
• Autonomous exploit simulation, testing how a CVE could be weaponized
• Dynamic WAF protections that adapt based on simulated attack behavior
   

These capabilities make VulnDB a dynamic defense system that evolves in step with new threats.

Bridging the Gap Between Security and Development

One of VulnDB’s lesser-discussed breakthroughs is how it enables collaboration. Because every entry is written to be useful to both security engineers and developers, teams can align on what to fix, how to fix it, and why it matters.

That shared language shortens the loop between discovery and action, and removes the friction that often plagues remediation efforts.

“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.”

A Free Resource with Built-In Defense

Miggo is releasing VulnDB as a free resource to the security community, offering open access to its core insights. That includes real-time vulnerability analysis, function-level tracing, and technical breakdowns of each CVE.

For Miggo customers, the offering goes further. Autonomous exploit simulations power live protections that can be enforced through dynamic WAF rules and runtime controls. This bridges the full lifecycle from vulnerability awareness to hands-off mitigation.

Security That Moves Before the Threat Does

As applications grow more complex and AI accelerates everything, security teams need tools that help them move faster than the threats they face.

VulnDB is Miggo’s answer to that challenge: a vulnerability database built not for recordkeeping, but for runtime reality. One that cuts through noise, pinpoints risk, and helps teams take action before a vulnerability becomes an incident.

Because in a world where everything is vulnerable, knowing what’s actually dangerous is everything.
