    "Published, not disclosed or exploited. A record's publication year is not necessarily the year the vulnerability was found.",
    "The 2017 jump follows the CVE Program's expansion of its CNA federation, so part of it is reporting capacity rather than vulnerability volume.",
    "CVE.ICU and cve.org's own metrics differ by a handful of records per year because they count from different feeds."
