New CVE Forecasting Tool Predicts 47,000 Disclosures in 2025...
Blog post from Socket
CVEForecast.org, an open-source forecasting tool using machine learning, predicts a significant rise in software vulnerability disclosures, with an estimated 46,886 CVEs to be published in 2025, marking the highest annual total recorded. Developed by security engineer Jerry Gamblin, this tool analyzes historical CVE data to forecast short-term trends, leveraging models like XGBoost for optimal accuracy. The forecast anticipates a 37% increase from 2024's disclosures, driven by a steady monthly rate of approximately 3,800 new vulnerabilities. The tool evaluates 20 forecasting models, and its predictions for early 2025 closely matched actual data, indicating its reliability. This projected growth underscores the need for enhanced vulnerability triage and patch management strategies, as the industry faces potential strain on existing systems. Gamblin seeks input from security professionals to refine the tool, which aims to provide insights into the expanding software vulnerability landscape.
