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.

Is it bad that I'm more concerned about the exploitability of this vulnerability than the actual impact? Asking for a friend...

I see your point, Malcolm. I also think the answer is D) All of these because all the metrics can provide information about the exploit quotient.

C. IBase, definitely. The I stands for 'Impact', which is all about the potential for exploitation, right?

Hmm, I'm not sure. I'll have to double-check the CVSS framework to see which metrics specifically address the exploit quotient.
