How does prediction work?

Predicted CVEs are identified through automated correlation using multiple sources: vendor/product profiles historically targeted by the group (MITRE ATT&CK), attack chain patterns (KEV + TTPs), threat intelligence (MISP, STIX), and AI analysis. These CVEs have not been confirmed as exploited by this specific group, but have a high probability of being targets based on the actor's operational profile.
