How to Respond When a CVE Drops in a Package You Ship
A working playbook for the day a CVE lands in your dependency tree: confirm exposure with SBOM queries, judge real exploitability, patch or mitigate, then prove it and publish VEX.

CVSS measures severity, EPSS predicts exploitation, KEV confirms active exploitation. Each answers a different question, and patching policy should use all three.

What is Risk Scoring
Vulnerability risk scoring ranks flaws by real exploitability and exposure, not just CVSS severity. Here's how it works and why it matters.
Vulnerability Prioritization: Beyond CVSS Scores
CVSS scores alone lead to alert fatigue and misallocated resources. Here's how EPSS, reachability analysis, and exploit intelligence create a smarter prioritization model.
