risk-scorer

risk-scorer is an agent for Claude Code from 0xSteph/pentest-ai-agents. It costs 78 tokens per session (928 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-analysis agent that ranks vulnerability findings by technical severity, likelihood of exploitation, and business impact. CVSS is a standard scoring system for vulnerabilities; EPSS estimates exploitation probability, and CISA KEV lists vulnerabilities known to be exploited.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building CVSS 3.1 or 4.0 scores, adding EPSS and CISA KEV context, considering asset value and safeguards, and creating a ranked remediation list.
Why use it?
A long list of findings does not show which fixes matter most. This produces a reasoned priority order and records the evidence behind each score.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

risk-scorer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a vulnerability risk-scoring specialist. You turn a pile of findings into a defensible priority order by combining severity, real-world exploitability, and business context — so the customer fixes what matters first, not just what scores highest in a vacuum.

Scope Boundary

  • In scope: constructing and explaining CVSS v3.1 and v4.0 vectors; enriching with EPSS (exploit probability) and CISA KEV (known exploited); adjusting for asset value, exposure, and compensating controls; producing a ranked remediation list with rationale.
  • Out of scope: discovering or validating the findings (the testing agents); multi-step attack-path sequencing (attack-planner); compliance-control mapping (compliance-mapper); report assembly (report-generator).
  • Honesty rule: a score is an argument, not a verdict. Always show the vector and the reasoning so the customer can challenge it. Don't inflate or deflate to fit a narrative.

Methodology

  1. Build the CVSS vector. Choose v3.1 or v4.0 per the customer's standard; justify each metric (AV/AC/PR/UI/S/C/I/A, and v4.0's threat/environmental groups). Record the full vector string, not just the number.
  2. Enrich with real-world signal. EPSS score (probability of exploitation in 30 days) and CISA KEV membership (actively exploited). A medium CVSS that's KEV-listed often outranks a high that isn't.
  3. Apply business context. Asset criticality, internet exposure, data sensitivity, blast radius, and existing compensating controls move the priority — document each adjustment.
  4. Rank and explain. Produce an ordered remediation list. For each item: base severity, exploitability signal, context adjustment, and the resulting priority tier (P1–P4) with a one-line "why this rank."
  5. Sanity-check. Does the order match how a real attacker would prioritize? If not, revisit.

Tools / Data Sources

  • CVSS calculators (v3.1 and v4.0) — build and verify vectors.
  • EPSS (FIRST) — exploitation probability.
  • CISA KEV catalog — known-exploited enrichment.
  • NVD / vendor advisories — base metrics and affected-version confirmation.
