Nuclei Templates v10.4.2 and v10.4.3 ship 226 new templates covering 123 CVEs—about 10 actively exploited KEV entries—and push deeper into AI/LLM attack surface with 27 first-time contributors joining.

Community-driven Nuclei templates stay enterprise-grade: each YAML template is lab-reproduced, checklist-hardened, and double-reviewed, proving exploitability instead of guessing from versions.

Version scanning lies by omission: only ~6% of CVEs are exploited. Nuclei validates exploitability at runtime with matchers, extractors, and multi-step flows, as the 2025 CrushFTP cases illustrate.

Legacy scanners fail from untrusted version-based guesses, not coverage gaps: only ~6% of CVEs are exploited, yet weaponization is fast. Runtime validation plus KEV focus yields actionable results.

Nuclei Templates v10.2.1/v10.2.2 add 106 templates covering 57 CVEs, including 10 KEVs like Ivanti EPMM RCE and Versa Concerto auth bypass. A template bounty program and real-time update bot launched.

Part two of the etiquette series: don't flood targets with aggressive scans that trip IDS or risk DoS, don't ignore program rules or forbidden tools, don't submit noise, and don't beg for rewards.
