An organization uses Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) scores to prioritize remediation of vulnerabilities. Management wants to modify the priorities based on a difficulty factor so that vulnerabilities with lower CVSS scores may get a higher priority if they are easier to implement with less risk to system functionality. Management also wants to quantify the priority. Which of the following would achieve management's objective?
  • A.(CVSS Score) * Difficulty = Priority Where Difficulty is a range from 0.1 to 1.0 with 1.0 being easiest and lowest risk to implement
  • B.(CVSS Score) * Difficulty = Priority Where Difficulty is a range from 1 to 5 with 1 being easiest and lowest risk to implement
  • C.(CVSS Score) / Difficulty = Priority Where Difficulty is a range from 1 to 10 with 10 being easiest and lowest risk to implement
  • D.((CVSS Score) * 2) / Difficulty = Priority Where CVSS Score is weighted and Difficulty is a range from 1 to 5 with 5 being easiest and lowest risk to implement
Explanation
I don't think this one is correct. The question is "... vulnerabilities with lower CVSS scores may get a higher priority if they are easier to implement ... ". Let's assume the CVSS Score is 7 for a minute: A. Hard: 7 * 0.1 = 0.7 Easy: 7 * 1 = 7 B. Hard: 7 * 5 = 35 Easy: 7 * 1 = 7 C. Hard: 7 / 1 = 7 Easy: 7 / 10 = 0.7 D. Hard: (7 * 2) / 1 = 14 Easy: (7 * 2) / 5 = 2.8 So, A is the only correct answer imho. Can anyone else comfirm?
