Situation by the numbers

Citable statistics

Aggregated metrics across the NEOSEC Intel dataset. Each section ships source, dataset, formula and timestamp — ready to cite in reports, decks or posts.

Year-to-date CVE publications

Year-to-date CVE publications

Cumulative CVE publications per year, derived from the earliest publication date across our ingested sources (NVD, CVE.org, OSV, MSRC, Debian, Ubuntu). Note: our capture ratio against the MITRE CVE List is currently below 100% — NVD records with status "Received / Awaiting Analysis" are now counted (since 2026-06-07), a full cvelistV5 sync follows in a later wave. A 1 : 1 match with FIRST/first.org/epss/data_stats is the target but not yet reached.

Ransomware-used CVEs (CISA-confirmed)

CISA maintains a "Known Ransomware Campaign Use" column in the KEV catalog. CVEs flagged "Known" were used in documented ransomware campaigns — they deserve the highest patch priority.

Time-to-KEV listing (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities — CISA's catalog of vulnerabilities confirmed exploited in the wild)

Time-to-KEV (median, days)

Median days between CVE publication and CISA-KEV listing. Lower = prioritized sooner.

2022 outlier: CISA only launched the KEV catalog in November 2021. The first full year (2022) therefore carried a large backfill of historically known and long-exploited vulnerabilities — the gap between publication date and KEV listing averaged several years. From 2023 onwards the median actually reflects the operational turnaround.
