Something you might want to filter for in your data is the business models for Wordfence, Patchstack, and WPScan

These are wordpress plugin vuln bug bounties that currently account for a MASSIVE amount of the CVE data (and are all web based)

The mascot of 2025 should be the mean little dog thing from Star Trek

Being on the "Top 10 CVE assigners of 2025" list probably isn't something fortinet is very excited about :)

If the current growth keeps up, we should see more than 40,000 #CVE IDs published in 2024, vs just over 30,000 in 2023

There was a thread on Mastodon about how many open source projects there are earlier today, so I thought I would also post a graph here to help show how massive it is

This is the data Ecosyste.ms tracks. There are over 10 million open source packages across the various ecosystems

There was a thread over on Mastodon about why XSS was the top CWE this year

infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/1...

There's a reason for this, it's because there are 3 CNA that are also Wordpress Plugin Bug bounty platforms

Wordfence, Patchstack, and WPScan

So a few CNAs account for most of the growth

Tonight’s project was connecting a #Meshtastic node to a raspberry pi zero using GPIO

The 4 pins I needed almost lined up exactly, which was nice

Now it’ll run the BBS I’m working on

But there's a secret hidden in that data. The extra growth this year is all the Linux Kernel. Here's the same graph if we remove all the kernel CVE IDs

Now it looks like a mostly normal amount of growth (if anything it's down a bit when you compare 2022 to 2023)

One of my armchair hobbies is doing data analysis. Here's what the current CVE graph looks like compared to other years
