CVE Prioritization 2026

Not all CVEs are equal. The prioritization.

CVSS

CVSS score is a starting point. Adjust by exploitability, asset criticality.

Don't just take the score.

Context

Internet-facing? Critical asset? Adjust priority up.

Per-deployment context matters.

Respond

Critical: 7-day SLA. High: 30-day. Medium: best-effort.

Bounded; defensible.
