Why it matters
- Theoretical severity causes wasted remediation effort.
- Exploitability depends on context: exposure, auth, data, versions, compensating controls and relationships.
- Teams need proof before prioritising scarce engineering capacity.
Exploitability Validation
Determine whether a weakness is actually reachable, exploitable or useful in a chain.

Capability architecture
Exploitability Validation: context, validation and evidence.
This capability contributes to the same platform outcome: understanding realistic attacker exposure and proving what matters.
ThreatCanary approach
- Turn observations into hypotheses with clear validation criteria.
- Run deterministic checks and controlled tests where authorised.
- Confirm, reject or downgrade hypotheses based on evidence.
What it validates or reveals
- Confirmed exploitability.
- Rejected false positives or theoretical issues.
- Evidence explaining why remediation should be prioritised.
Evidence and outputs
- A clear explanation of the exposure, affected assets and likely attack path.
- Reproducible evidence suitable for analysts, developers and risk owners.
- Prioritisation based on exploitability, business impact, sensitive data and chainability.
- Owner, remediation and workflow context that can move into Jira, Slack, SIEM or reporting.
