A common metric for scoring the severity of a vulnerability numerically.
Short for Common Vulnerability Scoring System, a common standard that scores a vulnerability's severity based on factors like how easy it is to exploit and its scope of impact. Scores range from 0.0 to 10.0, with 9.0 and above classified as Critical, and the scale is widely used as a rough guide for prioritizing response.
