   Developer's CVE Tracker shows 2026 vulnerability reports surging as AI speeds discovery

   AIA developer, @0x_Osprey, built the CVE Tracker web page, which charts CVE vulnerability counts and shows a steep rise in reports since 2026, Gigazine reports. The tool also plots major AI model release dates, and Gigazine says AI is amplifying security research by scanning code and drafting reports faster. More reports do not necessarily mean systems are more dangerous, since low-quality or duplicate reports can add triage pressure for open-source maintainers and security teams.
