![drybrush poster for december 2025, painted from 5,493 published cves](https://media.cvegen.art/posters/2025-12/1280.jpg?v=da5edbfeb4)

what the poster shows: 31 days as bands of dry brush, the first day at the top. 14 ran above the 2025 average for their weekday and sweep fast and wide; the other 17 are slow, level strokes. two inks: the deep one for open-source packages, enterprise vendors, the linux kernel, browsers and ai software, the pale one for everything else.
