Common Vulnerabilities And Exposures Database 1999-2025

1999 to 2025 coverage includes every Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures entry published in the National Vulnerability Database. The dataset was compiled by stasvinokur using a Python script to call the NVD REST API, with records available through May 30, 2025.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in CVE publication volume and severity using the CVE ID and publication date fields.
• Map software vulnerabilities to their associated Common Weakness Enumeration identifiers using the CWE ID column.
• Train models to predict vulnerability characteristics based on historical CVE metadata like description text and CVSS scores.
• Correlate specific attack vectors or impacted software components across different vulnerability entries.

Strengths
