State of Exploitation

A look into 1H-2025 Vulnerability Exploitation and Threat Activity
In the first half of 2025, VulnCheck identified 432 CVEs with evidence of exploitation in the wild for the first time. Known exploited vulnerabilities were disclosed by 82 distinct sources. We continue to see vulnerabilities being exploited at a fast pace, with 32.1% of vulnerabilities being exploited on or before the day of the CVE disclosure, often representing zero-day exploitation. This demonstrates the need for defenders to move quickly on emerging threats while continuing to burn down their vulnerability debt.
