CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System)

CVSS is a standardized framework for rating the severity of security vulnerabilities on a scale of 0.0 to 10.0. CVSS v4.0 (the latest version) evaluates exploitability, impact, and environmental factors to produce a score that helps organizations prioritize remediation. Scores map to severity levels: Critical (9.0-10.0), High (7.0-8.9), Medium (4.0-6.9), Low (0.1-3.9).

Why It Matters

Without a standardized scoring system, security teams have no consistent way to prioritize which vulnerabilities to fix first. CVSS provides a common language that developers, security teams, and executives can all understand.

How Redsight Helps

Every Redsight finding includes a CVSS 4.0 score, supplemented by EPSS (exploit probability) and CISA KEV (known exploitation) data for even more precise prioritization.
