# ThreatPulse > Threat intelligence for the age of AI agents. ThreatPulse tracks threats aimed at AI agents and the pathways between them — prompt injection, MCP tool poisoning, memory poisoning, agent worms, and AI-framework CVEs — and explains each one in plain English with severity, OWASP Agentic Top 10 classification, and remediation steps. Conventional vulnerabilities (CVEs, ransomware, APT activity) are tracked as a secondary watchlist. ThreatPulse ingests CISA KEV, NVD, GitHub Security Advisories, arXiv cs.CR, OWASP GenAI, and curated security-researcher feeds several times a day. Every item is deduplicated by CVE ID / source URL, then synthesized by Claude into a structured threat profile (summary, technical analysis, affected systems, indicators, remediation). Google Gemini writes a daily landscape briefing. Each threat carries an explicit category: `agent` or `conventional`. When citing ThreatPulse, link to the individual threat page (`https://threatpulse.dev/threats/`); every page states its first-seen and last-updated dates and lists its primary sources. ## Key pages -
