SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires cvss, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a systematic framework for assessing, classifying, and prioritizing security vulnerabilities, enabling efficient and effective remediation. It helps security teams cut through the noise of scan results, focus on the most critical risks, and align remediation efforts with business impact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CVSS Scoring & Severity: Utilize the industry-standard CVSS v3.1 to calculate base scores and assign severity ratings (Low, Medium, High, Critical).
  • False Positive Detection: Learn common patterns and validation steps to accurately identify and document false positives, reducing wasted effort.
  • Risk Prioritization Framework: Combine CVSS with exploit availability, asset criticality, and exposure to assign P0-P3 priority levels and set clear SLAs.
  • Use Case: Analyze a new vulnerability finding with a CVSS score of 8.5, determine if a public exploit exists, assess the criticality of the affected asset, and then calculate a comprehensive risk score to assign a P1 priority for remediation.

Quick Start

Use the vulnerability-triage skill to calculate the risk score for a vulnerability with CVSS 9.8, a public exploit, affecting an internet-facing production server with sensitive data.

Frequently Asked Questions about Vulnerability Triage & Prioritization

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prioritize vulnerabilities from security scans?▼

Prioritize vulnerabilities by applying CVSS scoring to assign severity ratings, then layer in exploit availability, asset criticality, and exposure to calculate risk scores and assign P0-P3 remediation priorities aligned with SLAs.

What is CVSS scoring and how does it work?▼

CVSS v3.1 is the industry-standard framework for calculating vulnerability severity. It produces base, temporal, and environmental scores that range from Low to Critical, providing a quantified risk assessment for consistent prioritization.

How do I identify false positives in vulnerability scan results?▼

Detect false positives by learning common validation patterns and applying classification logic to distinguish genuine CVEs from compliance findings, reducing wasted remediation effort and focusing teams on real risks.

Can I use CVSS scoring to determine remediation timelines?▼

Yes. CVSS scores combined with exploit availability, asset criticality, and exposure create a comprehensive risk ranking that directly informs SLA-driven remediation timelines and resource allocation.

What information do I need before triaging a vulnerability?▼

Gather the vulnerability's CVSS base score, check for public exploits, identify the affected asset's criticality and exposure level, and classify whether it is a CVE or compliance finding to compute a complete risk assessment.

Why distinguish between CVE and compliance vulnerabilities?▼

CVEs and compliance findings carry different risk profiles and remediation paths. Classifying them separately ensures accurate prioritization and prevents conflating external exploitable vulnerabilities with internal control gaps.
