Severity and Risk Scoring Descriptions

Severity

This indicates the seriousness or criticality of a vulnerability. Common severity levels include low, medium, high, and critical. Higher-severity vulnerabilities typically pose a greater risk and require more immediate attention and mitigation.

...

The Impact Score evaluates the potential impact of a vulnerability on the affected system or organization. It considers factors such as data loss, system compromise, service disruption, regulatory compliance impact, and financial repercuss

...

How is ‘Severity’

...

Calculated?

Severity information is imported from the standard vulnerability databases.  

...

In summary, the Severity score for vulnerabilities is calculated based on the Base Score, which is, in turn, calculated from the Impact and Exploitability metrics. The Severity score indicates the seriousness of a vulnerability, ranging from low to critical, based on its potential impact and ease of exploitation.

End of Life

ConnectSecure checks against Assets to categorize end-of-life (EOL) in two ways.

  1. OS-OUT-OF-SECURITY-SUPPORT

  2. OS-OUT-OF-ACTIVE-SUPPORT

This is found in the Problem Group of ‘Informational’ as shown in the example below:
