How we rank

Evidence that attackers are using a flaw comes first: CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, VulnCheck KEV and CISA’s own SSVC assessment. Then the likelihood of attack in the next 30 days from FIRST’s Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), then severity. A high severity score alone doesn’t make the list. Flaws in AI systems and agent tools are weighted up because they are a fast-growing target. Everything here comes straight from those sources; nothing is estimated by us.

EPSS scores are from FIRST.org. Exploitation reports marked VulnCheck KEV are from VulnCheck’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (data © VulnCheck). Always confirm the fixed version in the vendor’s advisory.
