Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS): A universally open and standardized method for rating IT vulnerabilities. CVSS helps organizations prioritize their responses to system vulnerabilities by offering a calculated score between 0 and 10 based on factors such as the complexity of exploiting a vulnerability, whether it requires local or network access, and what kind of impact it would have if successfully exploited.
