Incident Risk Details

Understand how inferred CVEs, exploit data, and risk factors contribute to an incident’s risk score.

Expander provides detailed information about the risks associated with an incident on the Risk tab of the incident details pane. The Risk Details section includes information about the top three inferred CVEs impacting the risk score and a listing of the Risk Factors associated with the alerts in the incident.

The following table explains the information about inferred CVEs that is used in calculating the risk score.

CVE Information	Description
CVE Confidence	Cortex Xpanse categorizes inferred CVE matches as High or Medium confidence based on the version information that is available on the service and from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). High—Precise version information is available both from the service and from NVD. Medium—Part of the version information from the service matches the NVD entry for the CVE, but the version information from the service has additional characters For more information about how Expander defines inferred CVEs and levels of confidence around CVEs, see Inferred CVEs
Exploit Maturity	Proof of Concept (PoC)—An exploit that may not actually cause harm, but is distributed to demonstrate security weaknesses. Weaponized—An exploit that is explicitly malicious (such as when the exploit is contained within malware) or has been reported as exploited in the wild, or works consistently against all or most targets. None—No known POC or weaponized malware.
Exploited in Wild	A value of Yes indicates one of the following conditions have been met: Named threat actors or known APT groups have been publicly reported to have exploited the vulnerability in the wild CISA has added the vulnerability into Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) catalog, the authoritative source of vulnerabilities that have been exploited in the wild Vulnerability is listed in Google Project Zero’s 0day In-The-Wild (ITW)
CVSS	The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score indicates the severity of a security vulnerability with a value between 0 and 10.
EPSS Score	The Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) score indicates the likelihood that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild. Possible values are between 0 and 100%, and the higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
Recent Reported Exploit Date	The date when the vulnerability was first known to be exploited-in-the-wild or when it was added to CISA KEV catalog.
