AIVD stands for Artificial Intelligence Vulnerability Database. It is a repository of AI-specific weaknesses, exposure details, and related security records, similar in spirit to a vulnerability feed for traditional software. An AIVD can include issues in models, training data, prompts, inference pipelines, plugins, and supporting libraries.
In cyber security, an AIVD matters because AI systems fail in ways that standard application checks may miss. Defenders use it to match known AI weaknesses to real assets, assess severity, and prioritize patching or mitigation. Attackers benefit when organizations lack this kind of intelligence, since blind spots can hide prompt injection risks, model misuse, data leakage, or supply-chain flaws. By linking an AIVD to an inventory of AI assets, security teams can move from generic awareness to actionable risk management.
