At Bugcrowd, we’re always looking for ways to make validated vulnerability intelligence more actionable. Today, we’re excited to introduce a new platform capability: the ability to automatically create AI-generated Nuclei templates from triaged vulnerabilities, now available upon request.

This new integration empowers security teams to automate the validation and re-testing of known vulnerabilities discovered through Bugcrowd—directly within their own scanning environments.

 

What is Nuclei?

For those unfamiliar, Nuclei is an open-source, template-driven vulnerability scanner built for modern environments—from web apps to infrastructure and cloud. It uses simple YAML-based templates to define specific attack techniques, making it easy to detect and prioritize exploitable security issues.

Each Nuclei template outlines:

  • The vulnerability logic
  • Severity and risk rating
  • Potential exploit paths

This makes it an ideal engine for scaling internal testing with real-world attack scenarios.

 

What this capability enables

With this new capability, Bugcrowd customers can elect to leverage Bugcrowd AI platform technology to have triaged vulnerability submissions automatically encoded into Nuclei templates. These templates can then be used with your internal Nuclei scanner to:

  • Prevent reintroduction of the same vulnerability.
  • Incorporate validated issues into your SDLC and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Automate ongoing verification of real-world, exploit-tested vulnerabilities.

 

Why this matters

This capability was built in direct response to customer requests for reusable, actionable intelligence, that connects the power of Bugcrowd’s crowdsourced testing with your internal tools and workflows. Here’s why it matters:

  • No more duplicate payments—Run automated scans against known findings to ensure they don’t reappear.
  • Tighter feedback loops—Turn triaged, validated findings into automated re-tests.
  • Shift further left—Bring security testing earlier into your development process.

 

Ready to get started?

This capability is available upon request. If you’re interested in enabling it, reach out to your Bugcrowd Customer Success Manager.

As always, we’re committed to building capabilities that help our customers work smarter and stay ahead of risk. This is just one more way we’re closing the loop between human intelligence and automated defense.
