Common questions about the CVE Archive by Year
The CVE Year Archive organizes Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures records by the year they were assigned. This helps security professionals track vulnerability trends over time and research historical security issues.
CVE identifiers include the year in their format (e.g., CVE-2024-12345). The first four digits after "CVE-" indicate the year the vulnerability was assigned, making it easy to organize and browse by year.
CVE counts vary by year due to factors like: increased vulnerability research and disclosure, growth in software complexity, more security researchers and bug bounty programs, and improved detection tools and methodologies.
