   AI-Specific Attack Vectors Exploit Gaps in Traditional Security Frameworks

   In 2024 and 2025, several high-profile incidents demonstrated that traditional security frameworks fail to address AI-specific threats. The Ultralytics AI library was compromised in December 2024, malicious Nx packages leaked credentials in August 2025, and ChatGPT vulnerabilities allowed unauthorized data extraction. These incidents highlight that existing frameworks like NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls do not cover AI-specific attack vectors such as prompt injection, model poisoning, and AI supply chain attacks. The lack of AI-specific guidance in these frameworks leaves organizations vulnerable despite meeting compliance requirements. Security teams need to implement new technical capabilities and build specialized knowledge to defend against these evolving threats.
