CompTIA Security+ study material · question 132 of 611

Why does FIRST require a CVSS vector string to be published alongside the numeric score?

  1. So readers can see how the score was derived
  2. So the score can be compared to a CVE identifier
  3. So the score can be recalculated for a different version of CVSS
  4. So the vendor can be identified
Show the answer

Answer: A. So readers can see how the score was derived

The vector records every metric value used, which makes the number reproducible rather than opaque.
