The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has reduced its backlog of security vulnerabilities needing analysis but failed to meet its self-imposed deadline for returning to pre-February processing rates. While progress has been made since May, when NIST hired a consultancy to help address the issue, 17,873 CVEs still require analysis as of publication date.
NIST has made some progress clearing its backlog of security vulnerability reports to process – though it's not quite on target as hoped.
According to Garrity: As of September 21, NVD still has 18,358 CVEs that need to be analyzed. At the time of publication, the number has dropped slightly to 17,873. NIST updates these numbers daily, and they are all available via the It's that enrichment process that is behind schedule; there are CVEs piling up that need analyzing, tidying up, and publishing in the public database so that users and vendors can easily stay on top of what exactly has been disclosed and when, what has been patched, what is affected, how severe something is, and so on, all from one place.
