Abstract:
1. An automated system for automatic update of a Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score, the system comprising: electronic circuitry for implementing vulnerability information analyzing functionality to analyze preexisting vulnerability information via: wherein the preexisting vulnerability information relates to at least one of a vulnerability or an attack vector, the vulnerability associated with a preexisting CVSS score, and the preexisting CVSS score being based at least partially on the preexisting vulnerability information; electronic circuitry for implementing vulnerability information extraction functionality, responsive to the recognizing the pattern of text, to extract new vulnerability information via: wherein the new vulnerability information relates to the at least one of the vulnerability or the attack vector; and electronic circuitry for implementing CVSS score updating functionality to employ the new vulnerability information to update the preexisting CVSS score.
