Blast Radius

Maps the full impact chain from a CVE to the business assets at risk.

How it works

CVE → Package → MCP Server → Agent → Credentials + Tools

For each vulnerability found, agent-bom traces:

  1. Which package is affected
  2. Which MCP servers depend on that package
  3. Which AI agents (clients) connect to those servers
  4. Which credentials are accessible through those agents
  5. Which tools an attacker could invoke

Usage

# CLI
agent-bom scan   # blast radius is included in scan output

# MCP tool
blast_radius(cve_id="CVE-2024-21538")

Scoring

Each CVE gets a blast radius score (0–10) factoring in:

  • CVSS base score
  • EPSS exploit probability
  • Number of affected agents
  • Credential exposure count
  • Tool access scope
  • CISA KEV listing (known exploited)

Context graph

The context_graph tool extends blast radius with lateral movement analysis — BFS traversal showing how compromising one server can reach others through shared agents.
