Patch Gap
A vulnerability management term referring to the time lag between the public disclosure of a vulnerability and the completion of patching on affected systems. It consists of a vendor response period and a user upgrade period; the longer the window, the greater the opportunity for attackers to exploit it.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Patch gap refers to the time difference between the public disclosure of a vulnerability and the completion of patching on affected systems, consisting of two parts: the vendor response period and the user upgrade period.
The impact of open-weight models on the patch gap is mainly reflected in shortening the cognitive cost of 'going from understanding a vulnerability to writing an exploit', rather than directly shortening the time for vendors to release patches.
The original material does not provide data supporting how much open-source models compress the patch gap in real attack scenarios or which vulnerability types they are more effective against.
