Summary iPlain-English security verdict for Python, generated from its current health score, actively-exploited vulnerabilities, and latest supported version.
Python currently scores 89/100 — good. No tracked vulnerabilities are currently known to be exploited in the wild. The latest supported release is 3.14.6. It's largely safe; apply minor updates as they appear.
Disclosure trend iNew CVEs published for Python each year (NVD). A higher bar means more disclosures that year — more scrutiny, not necessarily less safe.
Patch priority — what to act on iThe issues to fix first — actively exploited (CISA KEV) first, then by exploitation probability (EPSS), then severity. Each row's "→ fixed in" is the earliest version that patches it; "see advisory" means no fixed version is published.
Most urgent first — actively exploited, then likeliest to be exploited.
