CompTIA Security+ study material · question 129 of 611
An analyst wants to lower a base score because the flaw was found through a difficult internal audit rather than being publicly known. Why is this wrong?
Show the answer
Answer: D. Metrics are scored assuming the attacker has perfect knowledge of the vulnerability
How the flaw was found is outside CVSS. Obscurity is not credited in the score.
