CVE Kitchen
An AppSec triage service where SMB engineering teams paste a CVE ID and upload their repo, and get back a plain-English verdict on whether the bug actually bites them — plus a working proof-of-concept exploit and a one-page fix plan written for a CTO, not a researcher.
CTOs and tech leads at 20–200-person SaaS companies drowning in CVE alerts
- Auto-clones your repo, runs the vulnerability reproduction agent against the vulnerable code path, and confirms exploitability in under an hour
- Generates a plain-English summary of what an attacker could do, who is exposed, and what the blast radius looks like
- Produces a minimal proof-of-concept script and a step-by-step patch PR the team can review and merge
- Tracks every CVE verdict over time so you can show auditors, customers, or insurers what you've checked and why
Mastermind-style agents can now actually reproduce repository-scale vulnerabilities at 84%+ pass rate, which means CVE triage finally moves from manual security engineering to an automated service — exactly as a backlog of unverified CVEs has become the biggest blocker for over-stretched AppSec teams.
Strong, quantified pain: 2025 Verizon DBIR cites 197-day median detection without triage, industry data shows 80-95% of alerts are false positives, and multiple vendor pages (CyberSierra, SquareShift AI ResolveX) explicitly call out 'CVE volumes overwhelming engineers' and 'triage takes hours'.How to Automate Alert Triage: A Practical Guide for SMB Security Teams ↗GenAI Cybersecurity Assistant Services & Solutions | AI CVE Triage ↗
Crowded — at least three funded/winning startups do nearly the same job: Pixee (98% false-positive reduction, pay-per-resolution), Konvu (AI-native triage, just won Infosecurity Europe 2026 Cyber Startup battle), and SquareShift AI ResolveX all occupy the CVE-triage-for-dev-teams lane.Vulnerability Triage Automation: 98% False Positive Reduction | Pixee ↗Konvu | Triage, prove, fix vulnerabilities before attackers exploit ↗Vulnerability Management Innovator Konvu Wins Cyber Startup Award ↗
Per-resolution / per-delivered-work pricing is already proven by Pixee and Konvu, but targeting 20–200-person SaaS caps ACVs well below enterprise deals and SMBs are notoriously price-sensitive in security tooling; viable but not exceptional.Pixee Pricing: Pay per Vulnerability Fixed, Not Per Seat ↗Pricing | Konvu ↗
CVE volume is structurally growing and SBOM/reachability regulations are tightening (ENISA 2025 SBOM landscape, NIST/exec-order pressure), so the category is durable — but incumbents (Snyk, GitHub Advanced Security, GitLab) are racing to add the same exploitability-verdict feature in-product, threatening pure-play survival.Top 6 SBOM Tools in 2026 | Xygeni ↗Stop Drowning in Alerts: A Practical Triage Framework ↗
Hard: requires safely executing untrusted PoC exploits in sandboxes, ingesting arbitrary customer repos, mapping SBOMs to CVE reachability, and producing a one-page CTO fix plan; the cited Mastermind 84% repo-scale pass rate is promising but still well below the reliability needed for an autonomous paid verdict, and liability for a wrong 'you're safe' answer is significant.Konvu | Triage, prove, fix vulnerabilities before attackers exploit ↗
