data: I grabbed all 500+ records and counted, by month, those with severity 10 (column 10) and severity >= 7 (column 7). Rows is the # of cve records for that month.
NB: only months with at least one cve event show up, but given adobe's focus on security, it wasn't really necessary to fill in months with 0 events to get the point across
Vulnerabilities increase and usage decreases. I wonder if an economically sensible decision should be to EOL Flash soon. Are they still doing any money out of it?

2015 has not been kind to them, but it's been a continuous trickle of remote severity 10s every month for a year and a halftruncated because it took too much space; full results: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/763e28612b74d3a1817a

download each screen full of results from the cve site into a single directory and run this script: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/990bfe126d273ef84134
