Scoring Systems

CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System)

Industry-standard scoring from 0.0 to 10.0 measuring vulnerability severity:

ScoreSeverity
9.0 - 10.0Critical
7.0 - 8.9High
4.0 - 6.9Medium
0.1 - 3.9Low

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System)

Machine learning model predicting the probability a vulnerability will be exploited in the next 30 days. Range: 0% to 100%. Maintained by FIRST.org.

Key difference: CVSS measures "how bad?" while EPSS measures "how likely?"
