AI AppSec tools agree on just 5% of security findings

Contrast Security report finds 42 confirmed exploit attempts per application monthly and three AI scanners agreeing on only 5% of findings.

Contrast Security's AppSec Overflow 2026 report, drawing on telemetry from hundreds of thousands of production applications and APIs, found adversaries touch the average application every four minutes with 42 confirmed viable exploit attempts per application monthly, led by untrusted deserialization, path traversal, and method tampering. Legacy flaws Log4Shell and Spring4Shell remain widespread, mean time to exploit fell from over two years in 2018 to under three weeks for most 2025 exploited vulnerabilities, and average critical fix time is 92 days. Three AI scanners set on the same codebase agreed on only 5% of findings, and triaging a 2-million-line codebase scan cost roughly $128,000 versus $315 in API charges. Among exploited CVEs in the dataset, 82% of KEV-listed entries carried EPSS scores of 90% or higher, while CVE-2006-1547 and CVE-2023-38180 were confirmed exploited despite EPSS scores under 25%.

  • Unauthenticated DoS in Microsoft .NET, ASP.NET Core and Visual Studio 2022
    CVE-2023-38180 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Microsoft .NET and Visual Studio 2022 caused by uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400). Per the CVSS vector, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can trigger it over the network with no privileges or user interaction required, causing affected applications or services to exhaust resources and become unavailable. The attacker gains only availability impact (high availability severity, no confidentiality or integrity impact), but this can take down ASP.NET Core web applications and other .NET-based services. Any organization running vulnerable .NET runtimes, ASP.NET Core applications, or Visual Studio 2022 is exposed, and Fedora also ships affected .NET packages. The flaw is being actively exploited in the wild: CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2023-08-09, it was among the two actively exploited flaws fixed in Microsoft's August 2023 Patch Tuesday, and EPSS assigns a 14.0% 30-day exploitation probability (96th percentile).

  • Denial-of-Service in Apache Struts 1 ActionForm (pre-1.2.9)
    Apache Struts 1 versions before 1.2.9, when used with BeanUtils 1.7, contain a denial-of-service vulnerability in how ActionForm beans are populated from request data. An attacker can send crafted HTTP request parameters that, when applied to an ActionForm via BeanUtils, consume excessive server resources and disrupt or crash the affected web application. The impact is availability only — no code execution or access — so an unauthenticated remote attacker gains the ability to degrade or take down the service. Any organization running legacy Java web applications built on Apache Struts 1 prior to 1.2.9 is affected. CISA added this flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog on 2022-01-21, confirming in-the-wild exploitation; no public proof-of-concept is known, and any ransomware association is not reported.
