Raw CVSS reflects theoretical severity without real-world context. Over 90% of CVEs are never actively weaponized. Risk-based prioritization correlates vulnerabilities with active exploitation in the wild (CISA KEV), threat actor campaigns, and organizational asset criticality to pinpoint the top 2–5% of CVEs requiring immediate patching.
