KEV pips start in November 2021, when CISA published the catalog, and count entries of any CVE year. 19 months have no snapshot because their runs failed. A year's total covers its months on record, and its change compares the same months of the year before.

More CVEs, not more exploitation

In the last 12 full months, 80,437 CVEs were published and CISA added 281 entries to KEV: one for every 286. On the 12 months before, volume grew 71% and KEV additions grew 14%.

Since January 2023, each lane on its own scale. Point at a month to read both.
