How the A Year Of CVEs screensaver works

The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.

How many vulnerabilities NVD published each month split by CVSS band, counted directly from NVD and key-less. Recent months undercount because scoring lags publication, and a spike is as often one vendor filing a backlog as a bad month.

It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.

Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
