What is AVE? -AVE (Agentic Vulnerability Enumeration) is an open numbering system for vulnerabilities found in **agentic AI components** β€” the files, servers, prompts, and protocols that define what an AI agent can do and how it behaves. +AVE is an open numbering system for vulnerabilities in agentic AI components: +skill files, MCP servers, system prompts, agent plugins, A2A protocols, and +RAG knowledge bases. -AVE records are the operational intelligence layer for AI agent security. Each record describes: +Each record answers four questions: -- **What** the vulnerability is (attack class, behavioral description) -- **Where** it appears (component type, affected registries) -- **How dangerous** it is (CVSS-AI score, agentic impact dimensions) -- **How to find it** (behavioral fingerprint, detection methodology) -- **How it maps** to established frameworks (OWASP, NIST, MITRE ATLAS) +- **What** is the vulnerability?

(OWASP AIVSS v0.8 score, agentic risk factors) +- **How do you find it?** (behavioral fingerprint, detection rules, IOCs) -AVE is maintained by [Bawbel](https://bawbel.io) and powered by [PiranhaDB](https://bawbel.io) β€” the first global behavioral threat intelligence database for agentic AI components.

Why not CVE? -CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) was designed in 1999 for deterministic software flaws β€” buffer overflows, SQL injection, use-after-free. It works exceptionally well for that problem. AVE is not a replacement for CVE. It covers a fundamentally different attack surface. +CVE was designed in 1999 for deterministic software flaws. It works well for +buffer overflows, SQL injection, and use-after-free. AVE covers a different +attack surface. | Dimension | CVE | AVE | |---|---|---| -| **Vulnerability type** | Deterministic code flaw | Behavioral, probabilistic, natural language | -| **Subject** | Specific software version | Agentic component (any format, any platform) | -| **Reproducibility** | Exact reproduction required | Behavioral pattern matching | -| **Patching model** | Vendor issues patched version | Component removed, replaced, or behavioral policy applied | -| **Mutation tracking** | One CVE per instance | One AVE record covers all behavioral variants | -| **Scoring** | CVSS (network, auth, impact) | CVSS-AI (adds agentic scope, human oversight, tool access) | -| **Disclosure target** | Software vendor | Registry operator, platform maintainer, or community | -| **Processing speed** | Days to months | Near real-time via PiranhaDB | -| **Coverage** | Code vulnerabilities only | Skills, MCP servers, prompts, plugins, A2A protocols, RAG, models | - -**If a SKILL.md file contains a traditional RCE in embedded Python code, that gets a CVE.** The natural language prompt injection instruction in the same SKILL.md that hijacks the agent's goals β€” that gets an AVE.

Scope β€” What AVE Covers +## 3. Governance -AVE covers every type of **agentic component** β€” any artifact that defines an AI agent's capabilities, behavior, or permissions. +AVE v0.2.0 is maintained by [Bawbel](https://bawbel.io). -| Component Type | `component_type` value | Examples | Primary Attack Classes | -|---|---|---|---| -| Skill files | `skill` | SKILL.md, .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, Codex skills | Prompt injection, goal hijack, shadow permissions, metamorphic payloads | -| MCP servers | `mcp` | Any MCP-compatible server manifest | Tool poisoning, unauthorized execution, SQL injection via MCP, MPMA | -| System prompts | `prompt` | LLM deployment instructions | Jailbreaking, safety bypass, PII leakage, instruction injection | -| Agent plugins | `plugin` | Copilot plugins, AgentForce skills, Bedrock agents | Supply chain poisoning, capability escalation, exfiltration | -| A2A protocols | `a2a` | Google A2A handlers, Anthropic multi-agent configs | Transitive trust exploitation, agent impersonation, lateral movement | -| RAG knowledge bases | `rag` | LlamaIndex, LangChain, Bedrock KB sources | Data poisoning, indirect prompt injection, exfiltration via retrieval | -| Fine-tuned models | `model` | Hugging Face models, Azure AI, Vertex AI | Model poisoning, backdoor triggers, capability manipulation | - -**Out of scope for AVE:** -- Traditional code vulnerabilities in software that powers agents (use CVE) -- Model alignment failures not caused by deliberate adversarial input (use ML safety frameworks) -- Privacy violations not arising from agentic component behavior (use applicable privacy frameworks) +### Current state ---- +Bawbel owns the AVE numbering system, the record schema, and the PiranhaDB +API. The specification is open source (Apache 2.0).

AVE ID Format - -``` -AVE-{YEAR}-{SEQUENCE} -``` +### Guiding principle -**Examples:** -``` -AVE-2026-00001 -AVE-2026-00142 -AVE-2026-01000 -``` +The long-term goal is for AVE to be governed by a neutral body where no +single organization holds a majority. What that body looks like, whether +an existing foundation such as OWASP, the Linux Foundation, or OpenSSF, +or something new, will be decided based on what the community and ecosystem +actually support. We are not planning that in advance. -- `YEAR` β€” four-digit year of first public disclosure -- `SEQUENCE` β€” five-digit zero-padded sequence number, assigned by PiranhaDB on publication -- IDs are **permanent and immutable** β€” once assigned, an AVE ID never changes, even if the record is later disputed or marked false positive -- Sequence numbers are assigned in order of publication, not order of discovery +Bawbel's commitment: when AVE reaches the adoption level where neutral +governance makes sense, we will transfer ownership. We will not use +governance control to extract commercial advantage from the standard. ---- - -## 5. Record Schema - -Every AVE record is a JSON document conforming to this schema.
