The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams has officially released CVSS v4.0, the next generation of its Common Vulnerability Scoring System standard, eight years after CVSS v3.0, the previous major version.CVSS is a standardized framework for assessing software security vulnerabilities' severity used to assign numerical scores or qualitative representation based on exploitability, impact on confidentiality, integrity, availability, and required privileges, with higher scores denoting more severe vulnerabilities.
Google has assigned a new CVE identifier for a critical security flaw in the libwebp image library for rendering images in the WebP format that has come under active exploitation in the wild....
Abstract: The Common Vulnerability Scoring System is a popular method for evaluating the severity of vulnerabilities in vulnerability management. The goal of CVSS is to provide comparable scores across different evaluators.
A vulnerability management strategy that relies solely on CVSS for vulnerability prioritization is proving to be insufficient at best, according to Rezilion. Relying solely on a CVSS severity score to assess the risk of individual vulnerabilities was shown to be equivalent to randomly selecting vulnerabilities for remediation.
