Helix Busy Box - Exploring CVSS Version 4.0 Vector Strings

You can pass in vector stings through the url with "#CVSS:4.0/AV:P/AC:H/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/" but invalid vectors passed this way will fail silently.

CVSS:4.0/

CVSS v4.0 Severity Score: 0.0 (Maturity Level: 1)

Score color indicates qualitative bands described below. Maturity color matches the maturity model described below.

Metric Value Selection

Metric Name Value Metric Name Value Value Selection Logic Selected Value
Exploitability
Attack Vector (AV) Modified Attack Vector (MAV) if MAV then MAV else AV
Attack Complexity (AC) Modified Attack Complexity (MAC) if MAC then MAC else AC
Attack Requirements (AT) Modified Attack Requirements (MAT) if MAT then MAT else AT
Privileges Required (PR) Modified Privileges Required (MPR) if MPR then MPR else PR
User Interaction (UI) Modified User Interaction (MUI) if MUI then MUI else UI
Threat Group (defaulted) Threat Group (optional)
DEFAULT Exploit Maturity (E) Attacked (A) Exploit Maturity (E) Attacked (A) unless defined E
Impact
Security Requirements (defaulted) Security Requirements (optional)
DEFAULT Confidentiality Requirements (CR) High (H) Confidentiality Requirements (CR) High (H) unless defined CR
DEFAULT Integrity Requirements (IR) High (H) Integrity Requirements (IR) High (H) unless defined IR
DEFAULT Availability Requirements (AR) High (H) Availability Requirements (AR) High (H) unless defined AR
Vulnerable System Modified Vulnerable System
Vulnerable System Confidentiality (VC) Modified Vulnerable System Confidentiality (MVC) if MVC then MVC else VC
Vulnerable System Integrity (VI) Modified Vulnerable System Integrity (MVI) if MVI then MVI else VI
Vulnerable System Availability (VA) Modified Vulnerable System Availability (MVA) if MVA then MVA else VA
Subsequent System Modified Subsequent System
Subsequent System Confidentiality (SC) Modified Subsequent System Confidentiality (MSC) if MSC then MSC else SC
Subsequent System Integrity (SI) Modified Subsequent System Integrity (MSI) * if MSI then MSI else SI
Subsequent System Availability (SA) Modified Subsequent System Availability (MSA) * if MSA then MSA else SA
* These metrics allow higher Safety (S) values than their base counterparts.
Supplemental
Supplemental (optional) Supplemental (unscored)
Safety (S) Not Defined (X) unless S
Automatable (AU) Supplemental metrics are not scored. Not Defined (X) unless AU
Recovery (R) Not Defined (X) unless R
Value Density (V) Any vendor defined value will be overwritten. Not Defined (X) unless V
Vulnerability Response Effort (RE) Not Defined (X) unless RE
Provider Urgency (U) Not Defined (X) unless U
