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. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
