Web Application Vulnerability Trends

The increase in disclosed web application vulnerabilities is staggering, to say the least. According to the research from nCircle:

  • The number of publicly disclosed web application vulnerabilities grew 1,755% from 2006 to 2009.
  • Through September 2009, more than half of the total publicly disclosed vulnerabilities were web application-related.
  • While the web application vulnerabilities grew 5% from 2008 to 2009 (projected), the total number of new vulnerabilities (including non-web application vulnerabilities) grew almost 10%.
