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 immediate attention and mitigation.

...

Indicates the ease with which an attacker could exploit the vulnerability to launch an attack. Factors such as the availability of exploits, complexity of exploitation, and required privileges may contribute to this score.

To see these scores you can , tap on the CVE-ID and then tap on the Base Score link (be sure you are on the correct CVSS Version).

...

EPSS is a daily estimate of the probability of observed exploitation activity being observed over the next 30 days. It is designed from the ground up to make the best use of all of the information available, and it does this in five steps:

  1. Collect as much vulnerability information as we can from a variety of sources

  2. Collect evidence of daily exploitation activity

  3. Train a model: discover/learn the relationship between the vulnerability information and the exploitation activity

  4. Measure the performance of the model, tweak and repeat step 3 to optimize the model

  5. On a daily basisDaily: refresh the vulnerability information (step 1) and use the model (step 3) to produce daily estimates of the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days for each published CVE.

...

How is Severity Calculated?

Severity information is imported from the standard vulnerability databases.

Asset Risk Scoring Details

Assets are scored individually and assigned a letter grade: A, B, C, D, E, or F, just like in grade school. Tap on the letter grade of any asset to see the Rubrix breakdown of how we score based on vulnerabilities.

...

Asset Average Risk Score Calculation

The sum of present Problem Category scores divided by the sum of all Severity Problem Category scores + other Problem Category Scores that are present.

...

  1. Divide that total by the total Weightage possible, which is the sum of each severity category + any existing custom that exists.

...

  • Critical Severity = .9 or 90

  • High Severity = .8 or 80

  • Medium Severity = .5 or 50

  • Low Severity = .3 or 30

...

20 = 250 (Sum of Severity Categories) / 50 (Total Weightage of Problem Categories that Exist)

...

External Scan Risk Scoring Details

External Assets are configured and maintained at the Compan Company level under the portal's Assets > External Assets section. The Results tab displays a table view of any scanned asset with details that include , including various details along with the Security Grade.

...

Tap directly on the letter grade assigned to see the scoring details:

...

External Scan Risk Score Calculation

The sum of the present Problem Category scores divided by the sum of all Severity Problem category scores and other Problem Category score(s) if present.

...

Info

Only the confirmed vulnerabilities and insecure open ports are considered; the filtered ports and other categories are not included in the calculation.
