Patch Priority Decision Tool
CVSS scores measure severity in a vacuum. They ignore whether anyone is actually exploiting a vulnerability, whether your system is reachable, or how critical the asset is to your business. The result is patch lists that bury what matters under noise.
This tool applies the SSVC (Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization) framework used by CISA, combined with EPSS-style exploitation probability thinking, to give you an actionable verdict in 5 questions. Why SSVC and EPSS outperform CVSS for prioritization.
Question 1 of 5
Is this vulnerability being actively exploited in the wild?
This tool applies an SSVC-inspired decision tree to help security teams prioritize patching. It is intended as a practitioner aid, not a replacement for full risk assessment. Results should be interpreted alongside your organization's specific threat model, compensating controls, and vulnerability intelligence sources.
