Summary

In 2025, the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is struggling to manage a rapidly increasing volume of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), despite resuming pre-2024 processing rates, due to a 32% surge in CVE submissions the previous year and a further anticipated increase. The NVD's backlog is growing, and classification changes have led to difficulties in measuring it accurately, as CVEs are now increasingly categorized as "Undergoing Analysis" rather than "Awaiting Analysis," with many remaining unanalyzed for over a year. This situation has prompted experts to recommend diversifying vulnerability data sources beyond the NVD, such as CVE.org and CISA's KEV catalog, and to adopt more automated and resilient vulnerability management processes. As reliance on NVD becomes inadequate, security teams are encouraged to enhance their vulnerability intelligence and risk prioritization strategies to stay ahead of threats.
