Working on a new graph.

Total severity distribution in #curl vulnerability reports

Graph showing the share of high/critical security reports in curl starting at 100% of the reports until 2006, then shrinking gradually down to 20% in 2025

One question for my understanding:
Are these all coded by the CVSS 3.0 formula, or is there a change to 4.0 within the graph?

@schmidt_fu neither, this is the curl security team's severity classification. We don't do anything else

Thank you, I'm just learning about these differences.
How do you assign those numbers?

@schmidt_fu we don't use numbers. We use low, medium, high and critical only: curl.se/dev/vuln-disclosure.ht…

this *might* look to the casual viewer as if we have had 20% of the CVEs this year as high/critical.

I know you count the total accumulated.

Okay, split into the proper distinct severity levels it looks a little funkier:

You should never ever be let near a Grafana.

I already speed too much time creating dashboards. I can't image how many charts you would create in it.

what does total volume over time look like? High/critical reports are down as a percentage, but is the total volume down as well?

@tehfishman this shows distribution among all reports accumulated. That is an ever increasing amount.

@linus we hadn't gotten that many reports before that and they were almost all quite serious. Then in 2014 we got a whole bunch of medium-rated ones and only one high

Before 2006 you didn't differentiate and therefore show all as critical?
