CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) Scale

===================================================

The CVSS Scalability is a security metric that assesses the severity of vulnerabilities in software and hardware. It assigns a numerical score to the severity of the vulnerability based on its characteristics.

The CVSS Scalability score is calculated using a metric consisting of several base and temporal metrics. The base metric includes attack vector, attack complexity, privilege required, user interaction required, and impact. These metrics provide a score ranging from 0.0 to 10.0, where the higher the score, the greater the risk.

Additionally, there is a temporal metric which reflects the conditions that could change over time, such as the exploitability date and effective date of the attack. The temporal effects can modify the base score by either increasing or decreasing it, depending on the conditions.

The CVSS Scalability is commonly referenced and used by security professionals, organizations, and companies in assessing and prioritizing the patch and fix efforts required to mitigate these potential flaws. The v3 model provides major changes compared to previous versions, such as a bingo-based severity classification, severity descriptions, low, medium, high, and critical.

The market vendors, the industries and the government services for cyber security trust CVSS and have with an agreement integrated it as an important policy in the industry to increase the security base line of systems, systems utilities, and programs.
