CVSS 4.0 vs CVSS 3.1: A Comparison of Vulnerability Scoring and Risk Assessment

 The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is used to assess the severity of vulnerabilities, with scores ranging from 0 to 10. CVSS 4.0, released in November 2023, generally assigns higher base scores than CVSS 3.1 due to its more detailed evaluation of exploitability and impact factors. However, these higher scores may not always reflect the actual risk in specific environments, as default settings often overlook organizational contexts. This can lead to misallocation of resources when prioritizing vulnerability remediation. The analysis highlights the importance of considering contextual factors for better risk assessment and prioritization.
