Security teams face a constant race against time when a new critical vulnerability is announced. Traditional vulnerability scanners are often slow to update their signature databases. When they do, the resulting scans can be resource-intensive, generating massive amounts of network traffic and false positives. Security engineers who want to quickly check thousands of hosts for a specific newly disclosed bug often find themselves writing custom, one-off scripts. These custom scripts are fragile, difficult to scale, and hard to share with the broader community. The core issue is the tight coupling of the scanning engine with the vulnerability checks themselves, making rapid adaptation to emerging threats
