Pre-CVE Vulnerability Detection from Public Patches

C7/10April 13, 2026

WhatAn automated security intelligence platform that uses LLMs to analyze public git commits and identify stealth security fixes before CVEs are officially published.

SignalSecurity practitioners recognize a growing gap: once a patch is public, the vulnerability is effectively discoverable, but defenders still rely on slow CVE disclosure timelines to learn about threats — attackers with LLM tooling won't wait.

Why NowLLMs can now reliably perform code-level reasoning about patches, making it feasible to automate what previously required elite human security researchers — and attackers will use these same tools imminently.

MarketEnterprise security teams, MSSPs, and vulnerability management platforms; TAM overlaps with the $15B+ vulnerability management market; competes with Snyk, Qualys, but none do pre-CVE patch analysis at scale.

MoatFirst-mover data advantage — every commit analyzed builds a proprietary training corpus of patch-to-vulnerability mappings that improves detection accuracy over time.
