arXiv:2609.31004v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Attackers can compromise multiple systems with a single vulnerability, while defenders need to fix all security weaknesses in their systems. This asymmetry puts defenders at a disadvantage. Security vulnerabilities are found at an alarming rate, and patching vulnerabilities is costly and time-consuming; thus, vulnerability prioritization is a must and a time-critical challenge.
