A small fraction of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) posed a significant threat to supply chain security in 2025. Despite the overwhelming number of new CVEs, only a handful of them were actually exploited in mass attacks, highlighting the importance of prioritizing patching efforts. This selective approach to vulnerability management allows companies to focus on the most critical vulnerabilities, rather than attempting to address every new CVE. By identifying and patching these high-risk vulnerabilities, organizations can significantly reduce their exposure to supply chain attacks. The key to effective vulnerability management lies in pinpointing the most exploitable vulnerabilities, such as those with known exploits and high CVSS scores1. This targeted approach enables companies to stay ahead of potential threats and minimize the risk of a successful attack, making it a crucial strategy for practitioners to adopt in their cybersecurity efforts.
