![drybrush poster for september 2026, painted from 14,934 published cves](https://media.cvegen.art/posters/2026-09/1280.jpg?v=60337f4b03)

what the poster shows: 30 days as bands of dry brush, the first day at the top. every one ran above the 2025 average for their weekday, so every band sweeps fast and wide. two inks: the deep one for open-source packages, enterprise vendors, the linux kernel, browsers and ai software, the pale one for everything else.

cisa keeps adding older cves when attacks come to light, so this list can still grow.

## how to read it

each poster is four layers. here they are pulled apart, the days at the bottom and the painting on top.

- 01 days: one line per day: dim up to the 2025 average for that weekday, bright beyond it
- 02 brush: one sweep a day, longer past the 2025 weekday average
- 03 marks: extra passes on the busiest days, sep 14 to 17 fold into one
- 04 painting: the finished sheet, 14,934 cves in september 2026
