#53 · New way to prioritize issues: Focusing on Escape Severity

In your Reporting dashboard, you’ll notice an update in how we categorize critical issues. We’re moving away from the traditional CVSS score-based system and adopting a new approach that highlights Escape Severity, including context related to API services.

Why¶

We’re making this change to give you a more accurate, contextual, and actionable assessment of vulnerabilities. While CVSS scores provide a numerical risk measure, they don’t always capture the full picture. Escape Severity considers various factors such as the type of vulnerability, its exploitability, CVSS score, and other risk factors.

This comprehensive approach helps us better align issue prioritization with real-world risks and ensures you tackle the most critical issues more effectively.

Getting Started¶

To see this in action, go to the Reporting tab and select Overview.

You’ll now find that the most critical issues are arranged by Escape Severity!
