alt Hacker NewsSo basically there are two plausible explanations:
1. Someone with early access to Mythos leaked it to the bad guys.
2. Cybercriminals are getting enough mileage out of alternatives to Mythos to create exploits far more quickly, even though they don't have access to Mythos.
My own guess is that it's a combination of #2 plus vibe-coding degrading software quality at multiple layers, open the door to sophisticated exploits, but I have no insider access to Mythos so am just guessing. Maybe someone with Mythos access might say why they think this vulnerability spike happened when it did.

I might be missing something here, but why do you assume this spike in CVEs is from bad guys? I would assume it's at least largely good guys finding and reporting vulns, not based on in-the-wild exploitation by bad guys.
Disclosure of a vulnerability doesnt mean a bad guy found it.
Bad guys don't report vulns, they use them.
