CVSS

CVSS, or Common Vulnerability Scoring System, is a standardized way to measure how serious a security weakness in software or hardware is. It assigns a numerical score from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe vulnerabilities that could lead to data breaches, system damage, or unauthorized access. The score helps organizations prioritize fixing issues based on their potential impact and ease of exploitation. By providing a consistent framework, CVSS aids cybersecurity professionals in understanding and communicating the urgency of addressing specific vulnerabilities.
