CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System)

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a standardized method for assessing the severity of security vulnerabilities in software and systems. It provides a score, typically from 0 to 10, reflecting how critical a vulnerability is based on factors like ease of exploitation, the potential impact on systems, and how widely it could affect users. Organizations use CVSS scores to prioritize which vulnerabilities to address first, helping them manage risks and protect their information more effectively. By using CVSS, teams can communicate the severity of threats in a clear and consistent way.
