Question 1

Which version of the CVSS standard is used?

Accepted Answer

The tool implements CVSS v3.1 (Common Vulnerability Scoring System), the standard maintained by FIRST. It supports base metrics (Base Score), temporal metrics (Temporal Score) and environmental metrics (Environmental Score) for a complete, contextualized calculation.

Question 2

How do I interpret a CVSS score?

Accepted Answer

Scores range from 0 to 10: 0.1–3.9 = Low, 4.0–6.9 = Medium, 7.0–8.9 = High, 9.0–10.0 = Critical. The base score evaluates the vulnerability's intrinsic potential independent of its deployment context.

Question 3

Can I use this score in my security reports?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The contextualized CVSS score is directly usable in your audit reports, patch management bulletins and risk matrices. The tool generates an exportable summary with detailed vectors to document your analysis.
