Understanding the severity of vulnerabilities within cloud services is particularly important for today service administrators.Although many systems, e.g., CVSS, have been built to evaluate and score the severity of vulnerabilities for…

Security metrics are not standardized, but inter-national proposals such as the Common Vulnerability ScoringSystem (CVSS) for quantifying the severity of known vulnerabil-ities are widely used. Many CVSS aggregation mechanisms havebeen…

We review the current status and research challenges in the area of cyber security often called continuous monitoring and risk scoring (CMRS). We focus on two most salient aspects of CMRS. First, continuous collection of data through…

(U.S) Rule-based policies to mitigate software risk suggest to use the CVSS score to measure the individual vulnerability risk and act accordingly: an HIGH CVSS score according to the NVD (National (U.S.) Vulnerability Database) is…

The task of designing secure software systems is fraught with uncertainty, as data on uncommon attacks is limited, costs are difficult to estimate, and technology and tools are continually changing. Consequently, experts may interpret the…

Many studies have developed Machine Learning (ML) approaches to detect Software Vulnerabilities (SVs) in functions and fine-grained code statements that cause such SVs. However, there is little work on leveraging such detection outputs for…

Software Vulnerability (SV) assessment is a crucial process of determining different aspects of SVs (e.g., attack vectors and scope) for developers to effectively prioritize efforts in vulnerability mitigation. It presents a challenging and…

Background: Software Vulnerability (SV) assessment is increasingly adopted to address the ever-increasing volume and complexity of SVs. Data-driven approaches have been widely used to automate SV assessment tasks, particularly the…

Cyberattacks on industrial control systems (ICS) have been drawing attention in academia. However, this has not raised adequate concerns among some industrial practitioners. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the vulnerable locations…

In this work, we provide a metric to calculate the most significant software security weaknesses as defined by an aggregate metric of the frequency, exploitability, and impact of related vulnerabilities. The Common Weakness Enumeration…

The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is a major vulnerability database that is free to use for everyone. It provides information about vulnerabilities and further useful resources such as linked advisories and patches. The NVD is often…

The relentless process of tracking and remediating vulnerabilities is a top concern for cybersecurity professionals. The key challenge is trying to identify a remediation scheme specific to in-house, organizational objectives. Without a…

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) system is a reference method for documenting publicly known information security weaknesses and exposures. This paper presents a study of the lifetime of CVEs in software projects and the risk…

In this paper, we analyze the Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) dictionary and the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) feeds. These repositories are widely used in Vulnerability Management Systems (VMSs) to check for known…

The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) is a prominent list of software weakness types. This list is used by vulnerability databases to describe the underlying security flaws within analyzed vulnerabilities. This linkage opens the possibility…

Preventing vulnerability exploits is a critical software maintenance task, and software engineers often rely on Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVEs) reports for information about vulnerable systems and libraries. These reports include…

Software vulnerabilities can have serious consequences, which is why many techniques have been proposed to defend against them. Among these, vulnerability detection techniques are a major area of focus. However, there is a lack of a…

In cybersecurity, vulnerability assessment has typically focused on identifying and measuring vulnerabilities within digital assets and technical infrastructures. However, there is growing recognition that this approach alone is inadequate…

We present a novel idea on adequacy testing called ``{vulnerability coverage}.'' The introduced coverage measure examines the underlying software for the presence of certain classes of vulnerabilities often found in the National…

These days, cyber-criminals target humans rather than machines since they try to accomplish their malicious intentions by exploiting the weaknesses of end users. Thus, human vulnerabilities pose a serious threat to the security and…
