CVE Statistics by CVSS Score – Vulnerability Severity

Vendors and Products

CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.

Score distribution statistics

Below is a graph showing the distribution of CVSS scores for CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) to date. CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) is a standard for assessing the severity of cybersecurity vulnerabilities. It provides a score from 0 to 10 based on metrics such as attack complexity and the potential impact on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems.

Severity	Score	Nb CVE
Critical	10	6,736
Critical	9.5 to 9.9	860
Critical	9 to 9.4	3,464
High	8.5 to 8.9	3,628
High	8 to 8.4	5,896
High	7.5 to 7.9	37,555
High	7 to 7.4	14,299
Medium	6.5 to 6.9	21,273
Medium	6 to 6.4	17,005
Medium	5.5 to 5.9	24,887
Medium	5 to 5.4	15,186
Medium	4.5 to 4.9	4,860
Medium	4 to 4.4	2,202
Low	3.5 to 3.9	2,274
Low	3 to 3.4	419
Low	2.5 to 2.9	1,467
Low	2 to 2.4	2,481
Low	1.5 to 1.9	95
Low	1 to 1.4	142

The information presented on CVE Find originates from several carefully selected reference sources. CVE data is provided by MITRE Corporation and the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). The Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog is sourced from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), while EPSS scores come from FIRST.org. Additionally, data regarding software weaknesses (CWE) and common attack patterns (CAPEC) is maintained by MITRE Corporation, and information on hardware and software configurations (CPE) is provided by the NVD.
