SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenge of inconsistent and subjective security risk assessment by applying a rigorous, evidence-based calibration process to vulnerability findings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Risk Matrix Scoring: Evaluates findings against a 1-10 scale using impact, likelihood, and context-aware multipliers.
  • Evidence-Based Triage: Automatically incorporates reproduction status and threat model data to ensure scores reflect real-world viability.
  • Use Case: A security engineer has a list of raw vulnerability reports and needs to prioritize them for remediation; this skill processes the findings to produce a standardized, actionable risk report.

Quick Start

Execute the mantis-calibrate command to process all findings in the workspace and append final risk scores to the JSON reports.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate risk scores for security vulnerabilities consistently?

Automated security pipelines require consistent, evidence-based prioritization of vulnerabilities. This calibration process evaluates findings against defined threat models, applying context-aware multipliers and reproduction status to ensure scores reflect real-world viability.

How do I automate vulnerability triage in a security pipeline?

Automated security pipelines require consistent, evidence-based prioritization of vulnerabilities. This calibration process evaluates findings against defined threat models, applying context-aware multipliers and reproduction status to ensure scores reflect real-world viability.

What is evidence-based security triage and how does threat modeling apply?

Evidence-based security triage incorporates reproduction status and threat model data to ensure risk scores reflect real-world viability. Threat modeling provides the defined context used to evaluate impact and likelihood for vulnerability findings.

Does risk matrix scoring work with automated security pipelines?

Risk matrix scoring works with automated security pipelines by applying a 1-10 scale using impact, likelihood, and context-aware multipliers. It satisfies requirements for snapshot-aware provenance tracking and sanity triage.

What are the limitations of automated vulnerability risk calibration?

Automated vulnerability risk calibration depends on a defined threat model and available reproduction status data to function accurately. Without evidence-based inputs and context-aware multipliers, the resulting risk scores may not reflect real-world production viability.
