cvss-scoring

cvss-scoring is a skill for Claude Code from HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,543 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to CVSS, a standard method for rating how serious a software vulnerability is on a 0-to-10 scale. It covers CVSS versions 3.1 and 4.0 and explains the factors behind each score.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand attack conditions, adjust scores for a specific environment, and explain why one vulnerability deserves more attention than another.
Why use it?
It helps teams apply vulnerability severity ratings consistently instead of relying on vague labels such as high or low.

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

cvss-scoring 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 12d 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.

CVSS Scoring Methodology

Reference knowledge base for the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) v3.1 and v4.0, including metric definitions, scoring guidance, and practical application.

Knowledge Base

CVSS v3.1

CVSS v3.1 is the most widely used vulnerability scoring system. It produces a score from 0.0 to 10.0 across three metric groups: Base, Temporal, and Environmental.

Base Metrics

Base metrics represent the intrinsic characteristics of a vulnerability that are constant over time and across environments.

Attack Vector (AV) -- How the vulnerability is exploited:

Value Code Description Example
Network N Exploitable via network, no special access needed Remote code execution via HTTP request
Adjacent A Requires adjacent network access (same LAN, Bluetooth, etc.) ARP spoofing attack
Local L Requires local access (shell, physical keyboard, local app) Privilege escalation from local user
Physical P Requires physical access to the device USB-based attack, cold boot attack

Attack Complexity (AC) -- Conditions beyond attacker control:

Value Code Description Example
Low L No special conditions required Sending a crafted HTTP request
High H Requires specific conditions (race condition, MITM position, specific config) Exploiting a race condition with tight timing window

Privileges Required (PR) -- Level of privileges needed before exploitation:

Value Code Description Example
None N No authentication needed Unauthenticated RCE
Low L Basic user-level access Authenticated user exploiting IDOR
High H Significant privileges (admin) Admin panel vulnerability

User Interaction (UI) -- Whether a user other than the attacker must participate:

Value Code Description Example
None N No user interaction needed Server-side vulnerability exploited directly
Required R User must perform an action Clicking a malicious link (XSS), opening a file

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cvss-scoring is a skill published in the GitHub repository HermeticOrmus/LibreSecOps-Claude-Code (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 2,543 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
