Broken record, but "has a CVSS score of 10.0" is literally meaningless. In fact, over the last couple years, I've come to take vulnerabilities with very high CVSS scores less seriously. Remember, Heartbleed was a "7.5".

A new scoring system should be made that is a better signal.

I think the original one did just fine: "info, low, medium, high, crit".

I could even do without "crit".

I believe companies often call that the flaws impact.

It is different than the cvss rating.

In that it is meaningful, yes.

Surely you think AV:P has a meaningful description in the CVSS Score ?
