Base Score is based on two main characteristics (modeled as Subscores) of any vulnerability (with associated metrics):

• Exploitability Subscore : degree of difficulty to access and exploit the vulnerability
• Impact Subscore : if exploited, how important would be the consequences

Base Score, as well as Exploitability and Impact subscores, are displayed as a numeric range from 0 to 10, with associated color based on its importance ( “the higher, the worst” )

Kiuwan Insights provides a 2-axis figure that can help you to easily understand these two important characteristics of the vulnerability.

• The more close to the left a vulnerability is, the easier will be to exploit it.
• The more close to the top a vulnerability is, the more important will be its consequences.

Base Score is calculated as a function of Exploitability and Impact Subscores.

Exploitability and Impact subscores are calculated from their associated metrics.
