Vulnerability Severity Indicators

Tenable assigns all vulnerabilities a severity (Info, Low, Medium, High, or Critical) based on the vulnerability's static CVSS score (the CVSS version depends on your configuration). For more information, see Configure Your Severity Metric.

The Tenable Vulnerability Management interface uses different icons for each severity category and accepted or recasted status.
