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	6,821
Critical	9.5 to 9.9	915
Critical	9 to 9.4	3,581
High	8.5 to 8.9	4,145
High	8 to 8.4	6,144
High	7.5 to 7.9	37,965
High	7 to 7.4	15,269
Medium	6.5 to 6.9	21,887
Medium	6 to 6.4	17,334
Medium	5.5 to 5.9	25,591
Medium	5 to 5.4	15,433
Medium	4.5 to 4.9	4,921
Medium	4 to 4.4	2,269
Low	3.5 to 3.9	2,292
Low	3 to 3.4	451
Low	2.5 to 2.9	1,490
Low	2 to 2.4	2,520
Low	1.5 to 1.9	98
Low	1 to 1.4	143

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.
