Base score metrics(8)
Attack Vector
This metric reflects the context by which vulnerability exploitation is
possible. The Base Score increases the more remote (logically, and physically)
an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerable component.
Local
The vulnerable component is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s
path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either: the attacker exploits the
vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console),
or remotely (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another
person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., tricking
a legitimate user into opening a malicious document)
Attack Complexity
This metric describes the conditions beyond the attacker’s control that must
exist in order to exploit the vulnerability. Such conditions may require the
collection of more information about the target or computational exceptions. The
assessment of this metric excludes any requirements for user interaction in
order to exploit the vulnerability. If a specific configuration is required for
an attack to succeed, the Base metrics should be scored assuming the vulnerable
component is in that configuration.
High
A successful attack depends on conditions beyond the attacker's control. That
is, a successful attack cannot be accomplished at will, but requires the
attacker to invest in some measurable amount of effort in preparation or
execution against the vulnerable component before a successful attack can be
expected. For example, a successful attack may require an attacker to: gather
knowledge about the environment in which the vulnerable target/component exists;
prepare the target environment to improve exploit reliability; or inject
themselves into the logical network path between the target and the resource
requested by the victim in order to read and/or modify network communications
(e.g., a man in the middle attack).
Privileges Required
This metric describes the level of privileges an attacker must possess before
successfully exploiting the vulnerability.
None
The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any
access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction
This metric captures the requirement for a user, other than the attacker, to
participate in the successful compromise the vulnerable component. This metric
determines whether the vulnerability can be exploited solely at the will of the
attacker, or whether a separate user (or user-initiated process) must
participate in some manner.
Required
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some
action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope
Does a successful attack impact a component other than the vulnerable component?
If so, the Base Score increases and the Confidentiality, Integrity and
Authentication metrics should be scored relative to the impacted component.
Unchanged
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same
security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted
component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security
authority.
Confidentiality
This metric measures the impact to the confidentiality of the information
resources managed by a software component due to a successfully exploited
vulnerability. Confidentiality refers to limiting information access and
disclosure to only authorized users, as well as preventing access by, or
disclosure to, unauthorized ones.
None
There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity
This metric measures the impact to integrity of a successfully exploited
vulnerability. Integrity refers to the trustworthiness and veracity of
information.
Low
Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over
the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The
data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted
component.
Availability
This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component
resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. It refers to the loss of
availability of the impacted component itself, such as a networked service
(e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of
information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles,
or disk space all impact the availability of an impacted component.
None
There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Temporal score metrics(3)
Exploit Code Maturity
This metric measures the likelihood of the vulnerability being attacked, and is
typically based on the current state of exploit techniques, exploit code
availability, or active, 'in-the-wild' exploitation.
Unproven
No exploit code is available, or an exploit is theoretical.
Remediation Level
The Remediation Level of a vulnerability is an important factor for
prioritization. The typical vulnerability is unpatched when initially published.
Workarounds or hotfixes may offer interim remediation until an official patch or
upgrade is issued. Each of these respective stages adjusts the temporal score
downwards, reflecting the decreasing urgency as remediation becomes final.
Official Fix
A complete vendor solution is available. Either the vendor has issued an
official patch, or an upgrade is available.
Report Confidence
This metric measures the degree of confidence in the existence of the
vulnerability and the credibility of the known technical details. Sometimes only
the existence of vulnerabilities are publicized, but without specific details.
For example, an impact may be recognized as undesirable, but the root cause may
not be known. The vulnerability may later be corroborated by research which
suggests where the vulnerability may lie, though the research may not be
certain. Finally, a vulnerability may be confirmed through acknowledgement by
the author or vendor of the affected technology. The urgency of a vulnerability
is higher when a vulnerability is known to exist with certainty. This metric
also suggests the level of technical knowledge available to would-be attackers.
Confirmed
Detailed reports exist, or functional reproduction is possible (functional
exploits may provide this). Source code is available to independently verify the
assertions of the research, or the author or vendor of the affected code has
confirmed the presence of the vulnerability.

Please see Common Vulnerability Scoring System for more information on the
definition of these metrics.

FAQ

According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does
that mean for this vulnerability?

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to take
additional actions prior to exploitation to prepare the target environment.

According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What
interaction would the user have to do?

Exploitation of the vulnerability requires the victim to open the vulnerable
app.

According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability
could lead to some loss of integrity (I:L)? What does that mean for this
vulnerability?

The attacker is able to cover and spoof elements of the UI. The modified
information is only visual.
