Which of the CVSS metrics refer to the exploit quotient of the vulnerability?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) uses several metrics to assess the severity of vulnerabilities. Among them, the Temporal metric group specifically reflects the exploit quotient of a vulnerability.

Temporal metrics consider factors that change over time after a vulnerability is initially assessed. These include:

Exploit Code Maturity: This assesses the likelihood of the vulnerability being exploited based on the availability and maturity of exploit code.

Remediation Level: The level of remediation available for the vulnerability, which influences the ease of mitigation.

Report Confidence: This metric measures the reliability of the reports about the vulnerability.

These temporal factors directly affect the exploitability and potential threat posed by a vulnerability, adjusting the base score to provide a more current view of the risk.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. Maybe I should just ask the professor for the answer and avoid the whole 'guessing game' thing. *chuckles*

I'm going to have to go with B. Environmental factors play a big role in the ease of exploiting a vulnerability, don't they? *winks*

D. All of these metrics are related to the exploit quotient of the vulnerability. CVSS is a comprehensive framework, after all.

I think it's C. IBase seems to be the right choice here, as it deals with the exploit aspect of the vulnerability.
