QuestionQ85

VerifiedReport Writing and Post Testing Actions

After conducting penetration testing, Russel, a penetration tester, wants to create a report that provides management with details of the testing process and the vulnerability findings. Russel uses the commonly available vulnerability-scoring framework, Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v3.0 ratings, to grade the severity and risk level of identified vulnerabilities in the report. For a specific SMB-based vulnerability, Russel assigned a score of 8.7.

What risk or severity level does CVSS v3.0 assign to the SMB vulnerability for this score?

Explanation

The CVSS v3.0 qualitative severity scale defines High as scores from 7.0 to 8.9. Therefore, a score of 8.7 has a High severity rating.
