CVE Publication Hits All-Time High: 5,000+ Vulnerabilities R...
Blog post from Socket
In May 2024, over 5,000 Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) were published, marking an unprecedented increase in cybersecurity alerts with an average of 164 daily, nearly doubling the previous year's average. This surge, partly attributed to the controversial inclusion of numerous Linux kernel issues, highlights ongoing debates about the criteria for CVE classification. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is currently overwhelmed by the growing backlog of CVEs awaiting analysis, prompting the engagement of a contractor to address this issue by September. Meanwhile, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been designated as the first-ever CVE Authorized Data Publisher (ADP), enhancing CVE records with additional data and aiming to streamline the process through a two-pass enrichment strategy. Despite these efforts, the backlog remains substantial, with future plans to expand the ADP program to alleviate bottlenecks in CVE enrichment and processing.
