SSVC Calculator

Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization (SSVC) is a methodology developed by Carnegie Mellon SEI and CISA. Instead of a CVSS number, it delivers a concrete operational decision.

Status eksploatacji podatności

Czy istnieją dowody na aktywne wykorzystywanie tej podatności?

How to use

1. Exploitation status

Is the vulnerability being actively exploited? Check the CISA KEV catalogue and threat intelligence reports.

2. System exposure

How accessible is the vulnerable system? An isolated OT network has a different exposure level than a web server in the DMZ.

3. Automatability

Can an attacker automate exploitation and launch a mass attack? Unauthenticated protocols (e.g. Modbus TCP) are automatable.

4. Mission impact

What are the consequences of a successful attack? Compromising a Safety Instrumented System (SIS) protecting people is a "very high" impact.

Context

SSVC was created as a response to the limitations of CVSS Base Score - a system that gives a number (0.0-10.0) but does not answer the question "Do I need to patch, and when?"
