Indicates if the vulnerability can be exploited from a remote network. |
|
Proof of Concept Available |
Indicates if Tenable has identified a proof of concept for this vulnerability. |
Severity Metrics
In the Severity Metrics section, view Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v3 or CVSSv2 scores, depending on which are available, along with their vector strings.
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
CVSSv3 Base Score |
Indicates the CVSSv3 score. When not available from NVD, Tenable determines this score. To learn more, see CVSS vs. VPR. |
|
CVSSv3 Vector |
Lists a vector string with the values used to calculate the CVSSv3 score, for example: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H. To learn more, see this CVSSv3 calculator on the FIRST website. |
|
CVSSv2 Base Score |
Indicates the CVSSv2 score. When not available from NVD, Tenable determines this score. |
|
CVSSv2 Vector |
Lists a vector string with the values used to calculate the CVSSv2 score. |
