The UK government's AI Security Institute measured this by comparing how well AI models could replicate tasks that human cybersecurity experts can complete, finding that the latest AI systems are now showing even greater capability and posing real security risks to organizations with weak defenses.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["security","research"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.csoonline.com/article/4172519/ai-cyberattackers-are-getting-better-faster.html","publishedAt":"2026-05-18T16:36:35.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["Anthropic","OpenAI"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Claude Mythos Preview","GPT-5.5","UK AI Security Institute (AISI)"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-05-18T16:36:35.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["integrity","availability"],"aiComponentTargeted":"agent","llmSpecific":true,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
