Generative AI Vulnerabilities: The Unfixed Comedy of Errors in Cybersecurity
Generative AI applications are lagging in vulnerability fixes, with only 21% of flaws resolved, according to Cobalt’s State of Pentesting Report. Despite high confidence among security leaders, AI attacks remain the top concern, highlighting a disconnect between perceived and actual security readiness.

Hot Take:
Well, it seems like organizations are playing a delightful game of “Let’s Ignore That Security Threat” with a success rate of 48%. But hey, at least they’re consistent! And if you’re in the GenAI space, it’s more like “Fix it? Nah, let’s just pretend it doesn’t exist” with a whopping 21% remediation rate. Remember, folks, in the cybersecurity world, ignorance isn’t bliss—it’s a ticking time bomb!
Key Points:
- Organizations fix only 48% of vulnerabilities with detected exploits.
- GenAI applications fare worse, with only 21% of flaws resolved.
- High-severity vulnerabilities see a 69% remediation rate.
- 95% of firms have pentested their GenAI apps, but only 21% of serious flaws are fixed.
- Small companies outshine large ones in resolving serious vulnerabilities.
