Stolen Credentials Weaponizing Agentic AI in Cybersecurity Threats by 2025

In 2025, IBM X-Force tracked over 400,000 vulnerabilities, with 56% of them requiring no authentication prior to exploitation. The report highlights the growing threat posed by stolen credentials, which are being weaponized through agentic AI to expand attack surfaces. No specific CVEs, affected vendors, or technical exploitation methods were detailed in the available data. The focus centers on the broader trend of unauthenticated vulnerabilities and their potential impact on cybersecurity defenses. The findings underscore the risks associated with credential-based attacks in AI-driven threat landscapes.
