According to the [http://nvd.nist.gov/ National Vulnerability Database] (NVD), more than half of all of the ever-increasing number of cyber vulnerabilities reported in 2002-2006 were input validation vulnerabilities. As Figure 1 shows, the number of input validation vulnerabilities is still increasing. | According to the [http://nvd.nist.gov/ National Vulnerability Database] (NVD), more than half of all of the ever-increasing number of cyber vulnerabilities reported in 2002-2006 were input validation vulnerabilities.

Figure 1 illustrates the number of reported instances of each type of cyber vulnerability listed in the series legend for each year displayed in the x-axis. The curve with the square shaped points is the sum of all reported vulnerabilities that fall into the categories “SQL injection”, “XSS”, or “buffer overflow” when querying the National Vulnerability Database. The curve with diamond shaped points represents all cyber vulnerabilities reported for the year in the x-axis. For several years now, the number of reported input validation vulnerabilities has been half the total number of reported vulnerabilities. Additionally, the graph demonstrates that these curves are monotonically increasing; indicating that we are unlikely to see a drop in the future in ratio of reported input | Figure 1 illustrates the number of reported instances of each type of cyber vulnerability listed in the series legend for each year displayed in the x-axis.
