Azul wants to find your unpatched JVMs before AI does

Azul Systems is offering a free JVM vulnerability risk assessment tool that scans enterprise networks to identify unpatched Java runtimes, including embedded and unmanaged instances often missed by standard asset discovery. The tool cross-references findings against the CISA KEV catalog and NVD, and produces a prioritized remediation roadmap. The pitch is tied to Azul Core, a security-only OpenJDK distribution that ships patches without new features or bug fixes, reducing breakage risk for long-running Java estates. The threat narrative centers on AI-accelerated exploit development — citing real research showing GPT-4 autonomously exploiting 87% of known critical CVEs at ~$8.80 each — but Azul's headline claim relies on Anthropic's unreleased Mythos model, which Azul's own product director admits he has never tested. The free assessment is a lead-generation tool that converts to paid Azul Core subscriptions.
