AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

This skill assists security professionals in standardizing vulnerability reporting by generating CVSS v4.0 vector strings. It follows a structured evaluation process, requiring users to extract security-relevant facts before systematically scoring base metrics. The output includes a detailed justification table, the final vector string, and a direct link to the official FIRST.org calculator for numeric scoring.

What it does

Extracts security-relevant facts from plain-text vulnerability descriptions.
Systematically evaluates 11 CVSS v4.0 base metrics.
Generates a formatted CVSS v4.0 vector string.
Provides a pre-filled link to the FIRST.org CVSS v4.0 calculator.
Performs calibration checks against known vulnerability examples.
Validates inputs to ensure they describe exploitable security weaknesses.

When to use it

Scoring a vulnerability finding for a security audit report.
Generating a CVSS v4.0 vector from a bug description.
Comparing the relative severity of multiple security findings.
Determining the CVSS v4.0 vector for a specific vulnerability.

Advantages

Ensures consistent application of CVSS v4.0 metrics.
Prevents common scoring errors by enforcing a structured workflow.
Provides clear justifications for each assigned metric value.
Facilitates quick numeric score retrieval via direct calculator integration.

Usage examples

“Score this vulnerability: An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on the web server by sending a crafted HTTP request.”: The agent extracts facts, evaluates the 11 base metrics, provides a justification table, and outputs the CVSS v4.0 vector string with a link to the FIRST.org calculator.
“What is the CVSS v4.0 vector for a local privilege escalation that requires the user to open a malicious file?”: The agent identifies the attack vector as Local, evaluates the remaining metrics, and generates the corresponding vector string and calculator link.

CVSS v4.0 Vector Scoring

Produce a CVSS v4.0 vector string from a plain-text vulnerability description, plus a FIRST.org calculator link with that vector already applied, which is where the numeric score comes from. Do NOT attempt to compute the numeric score.

When to Use

Scoring a vulnerability finding for a security audit report
Generating a CVSS v4.0 vector from a bug description
Comparing relative severity of multiple findings
The user asks "what's the CVSS for this?" or "score this vulnerability"

When NOT to Use

CVSS v3.1 is explicitly requested (use the organization's CVSS v3.1 scoring guide instead)
The description is too vague to assess any metric (ask for clarification first)
The input does not describe an exploitable security weakness (see Input Validation below)
Scoring risk (CVSS measures intrinsic severity, not deployment-specific risk)
Computing the numeric score (direct the user to the FIRST.org calculator)

Input Validation

Run these checks before scoring any metric. If any check fails, address it before proceeding.

1. Is this a vulnerability? A CVSS vector is meaningful only for exploitable security weaknesses. If the input describes a code-quality issue, design concern, or finding with no security impact, refuse and respond:

This description does not appear to describe an exploitable vulnerability. CVSS measures the severity of security weaknesses; it does not apply to {category}. If you believe there is an exploitable impact, restate the description in terms of attacker capability and re-run.

Do not fabricate metrics to satisfy the request.

2. Does the input use CVSS v3.1 vocabulary? Watch for Scope (now removed), User Interaction: Required, or the unprefixed CIA triad. If detected, surface the version mismatch explicitly in the output before translating:

Input uses CVSS v3.1 vocabulary; translating to v4.0 semantics. The following mappings were applied: {list}.

Do not translate silently.

Rationalizations to Reject

These are common scoring errors. Reject this reasoning when you encounter it:

"Network accessible means AV:N" -- AV measures the furthest distance from which the attack can launch, not whether the component is on a network. A privilege escalation on a network service is still AV:L if the attacker needs local shell access.
"It's serious so all impacts are High" -- Each impact metric (VC/VI/VA/SC/SI/SA) must be independently justified. An RCE that gives code execution has VI:H (attacker can modify arbitrary data/code) but not necessarily VC:H (unless data is actually exposed) or VA:H (unless the attacker can crash or deny the service).
"A dependency is a subsequent system" -- Component relationships do not define the system boundary. A dedicated database or an application using a vulnerable library can be part of the same vulnerable system; counting that impact again in SC/SI/SA inflates severity.
"No mention of subsequent systems means SC/SI/SA are all None" -- Identify the vulnerable system boundary and consider supported impacts outside it. If that boundary or an external impact is unclear, explain the uncertainty and flag the chosen value with [ASSUMED].
"Default to worst case when uncertain" -- CVSS v4.0 requires reasonable worst case, not absolute worst case. When uncertain, choose the most defensible value and flag it with [ASSUMED].
"AC:H because there are prerequisites" -- In v4.0, AC measures evasion of security-enhancing mechanisms (ASLR, DEP). Prerequisites like specific configurations or race conditions belong in AT, not AC. This is the most common v3.1-to-v4.0 migration error.
"UI:R maps to UI:P or UI:A" -- v4.0 split v3.1's Required into Passive and Active. Passive means involuntary interaction (browsing a page). Active means the user must consciously perform a specific action (installing software, changing a setting, clicking through a warning). Don't default to Active.

Input Handling

The input is plain text describing a vulnerability. It may contain severity, difficulty, implementation specifics, exploitation scenarios, and remediation recommendations.

Before scoring any metric, extract and list all security-relevant facts:

What is the vulnerable component? (software, library, service, device)
How is it accessed? (network service, local binary, physical device, adjacent network)
What privileges does the attacker need? (unauthenticated, user-level, admin)
What does the attacker achieve? (read data, modify data, execute code, crash service, escalate privileges)
What is the vulnerable system boundary, including components serving its function? Are systems outside that boundary affected?
Are there prerequisites or conditions for exploitation? (specific config, race condition, on-path position)
Is user interaction required? If so, what kind?
Is there information about exploit maturity? (PoC available, actively exploited, unreported)

This fact extraction prevents anchoring bias from emotional language in the description.

If any exploitability metric (AV, AC, AT, PR, UI) cannot be confidently determined from the description, ask the user the fact-extraction questions above before proceeding. These five metrics drive most of the score and are the highest-impact place for a wrong guess. Do not default-and-flag them silently.

If an impact metric (VC/VI/VA/SC/SI/SA) is ambiguous, state the ambiguity, explain which values are plausible and why, choose the most defensible default, and flag it with [ASSUMED] in the output.

Scoring Workflow

Score metrics in this exact order. For each metric, read the detailed definitions in the metrics reference.

Phase 1: Exploitability Metrics

Evaluate these 5 metrics based on the extracted facts:

1. Attack Vector (AV): N / A / L / P

Network: exploitable remotely via network stack (HTTP, TCP, DNS)
Adjacent: requires same LAN, Bluetooth, WiFi, or logical subnet
Local: requires local access (shell, file drop, terminal emulation)
Physical: requires physically touching/manipulating the device

2. Attack Complexity (AC): L / H

Low (default): no security mechanisms to evade
High: must bypass ASLR, DEP, or obtain target-specific secrets
NOTE: race conditions and specific configs go in AT, not AC (v4.0 change from v3.1)

3. Attack Requirements (AT): N / P

None: no special deployment conditions needed
Present: requires specific configuration, race condition, on-path position, or other deployment-dependent condition
This metric is NEW in v4.0 -- it absorbs conditions that v3.1 lumped into AC

4. Privileges Required (PR): N / L / H

None: unauthenticated
Low: basic user account
High: admin or elevated privileges

5. User Interaction (UI): N / P / A

None: no user action needed
Passive: user does something involuntary (visits a page, receives a message)
Active: user must consciously perform a specific action (install software, click through warning, change a setting)
v4.0 split v3.1's "Required" into Passive and Active -- choose carefully

Phase 2: Vulnerable System Impact

These measure impact within the vulnerable system. Establish its boundary using FIRST's system-of-interest model: computing logic with a coherent function and set of security policies. Components designed exclusively to serve that system belong inside it, such as a dedicated database or an embedded library and its consuming application. Score impacts to those components in VC/VI/VA.

6. Confidentiality (VC): H / L / N

High: total loss -- all data in the vulnerable system exposed
Low: some data exposed but attacker lacks control over what/how much
None: no confidentiality impact

7. Integrity (VI): H / L / N

High: total loss -- attacker can modify any data in the vulnerable system
Low: limited modification possible
None: no integrity impact

8. Availability (VA): H / L / N

High: sustained or persistent total loss, or partial loss with a direct, serious consequence (e.g., preventing new connections while existing connections remain available)
Low: reduced performance or interrupted availability without a direct, serious consequence; repeated exploitation cannot completely deny service
None: no availability impact

Phase 3: Subsequent System Impact

These measure impact to systems outside the vulnerable system boundary. This replaces v3.1's Scope metric.

A dependency, data flow, or trust relationship alone does not make a component a subsequent system. Identify a separate system outside the boundary and the impact exploitation causes there; do not count the same within-system impact again in SC/SI/SA. A user's browser affected by web-application XSS or other guests compromised through a hypervisor vulnerability can be subsequent systems.

9. Subsequent Confidentiality (SC): H / L / N

10. Subsequent Integrity (SI): H / L / N

11. Subsequent Availability (SA): H / L / N

If the description gives no indication of subsequent system impact, default to N but flag with [ASSUMED]. Common cases where subsequent impact is non-None:

XSS: SC:L, SI:L (browser is a subsequent system). UI depends on whether normal browsing triggers the payload (P) or the user must navigate to an attacker-crafted resource (A) -- not on stored vs. reflected.
VM escape: SC:H, SI:H, SA:H (host/other VMs are subsequent systems)
DNS poisoning: SI:H, SA:H (downstream resolvers are subsequent systems)
Compromised auth server: consider SC:H, SI:H for affected relying services outside the vulnerable system boundary

Phase 4: Optional Metrics

Threat -- Exploit Maturity (E): Include ONLY if the description provides evidence.

Attacked (A): known active exploitation or exploit toolkits available
Proof-of-Concept (P): public PoC code exists, no known attacks
Unreported (U): no public PoC, no known attacks
Not Defined (X): no information available (default -- omit from vector)

Environmental metrics: Include only when the source description provides relevant context — i.e., the auditor states the deployed environment's CIA requirements (CR/IR/AR) or describes a compensating control that changes a base metric (modified base: MAV/MAC/MAT/MPR/MUI/MVC/MVI/MVA/MSC/MSI/MSA). Otherwise omit and note: "Environmental metrics omitted -- add if the target environment's CIA requirements differ from defaults."

Supplemental metrics: Include only when the source description provides relevant context — i.e., the finding describes a safety impact (S), recovery characteristic (R), or automation potential (AU). These are informational and do not affect the numeric score. Otherwise omit and note: "Supplemental metrics omitted -- add for communication purposes if needed."

See the Vector String section below for canonical ordering when these are included.

Output Format

Present the output in three parts:

Part 1: Metric Justification Table

| Metric | Value | Justification |
|--------|-------|---------------|
| AV     | N     | Exploitable via HTTP API without local access |
| AC     | L     | No security mechanisms to evade |
| AT     | N     | No deployment-specific conditions required |
| PR     | N     | Unauthenticated endpoint |
| UI     | N     | No user interaction needed |
| VC     | H     | Attacker gains read access to all application data |
| VI     | H     | Attacker can modify arbitrary records |
| VA     | N     | No availability impact observed |
| SC     | N     | No evidence of downstream system impact [ASSUMED] |
| SI     | N     | No evidence of downstream system impact [ASSUMED] |
| SA     | N     | No evidence of downstream system impact [ASSUMED] |

Flag any assumed values with [ASSUMED].

Part 2: Vector String

CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

Format: CVSS:4.0/ prefix, then all 11 base metrics in canonical order (AV/AC/AT/PR/UI/VC/VI/VA/SC/SI/SA), separated by /. Append optional metrics only if scored: E first, then environmental in canonical order (CR/IR/AR/MAV/MAC/MAT/MPR/MUI/MVC/MVI/MVA/MSC/MSI/MSA), then supplemental (S/AU/R/V/RE/U).

Immediately below the vector, emit the calculator link with the vector as the URL fragment, so the user gets the numeric score in one click:

https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0#CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

Append the vector verbatim after # — no URL-encoding, since : and / are both legal in a fragment. The calculator reads the fragment on load and preselects every metric button.

The link only works if the vector is well-formed: the calculator requires the literal CVSS:4.0 prefix and rejects metrics that arrive out of canonical order, silently leaving the buttons unset. That is the same ordering rule stated above, so a vector that satisfies it produces a working link.

Part 3: Calibration Check

Before presenting the final vector, read the examples reference and find the 2-3 most similar vulnerability types. Compare your vector against these calibration anchors. If your vector diverges significantly from similar examples, either:

Explain why the divergence is justified (the vulnerability has a specific characteristic the examples don't), or
Adjust the metric that seems miscalibrated

State which examples you compared against and whether the vector is consistent.

Self-Check Checklist

Before presenting the final output, verify:

[ ] Input describes an exploitable security weakness (not a code-quality, design, or informational finding)
[ ] Any CVSS v3.1 vocabulary in the input was acknowledged in the output before translation
[ ] All 11 base metrics are present in the vector
[ ] Each metric uses valid CVSS v4.0 values (not v3.1 -- e.g., UI uses N/P/A not N/R; no Scope metric)
[ ] Vector string follows canonical metric ordering (base, then E, then environmental, then supplemental)
[ ] Every metric has a text justification from the input description
[ ] Subsequent system metrics (SC/SI/SA) are not confused with vulnerable system metrics (VC/VI/VA)
[ ] AT and AC are not conflated (AT = deployment conditions; AC = security mechanism evasion)
[ ] Calibration check against examples was performed
[ ] Ambiguous impact metrics are flagged with [ASSUMED]; ambiguous exploitability metrics were resolved by asking the user

Calculator

The numeric score comes from the official calculator, which the Part 2 link opens with the vector already applied. Do not compute the score yourself: CVSS v4.0 uses a lookup-table algorithm (cvss_lookup.js on FIRST.org), not a formula, so any score you derive by hand is a guess.

If the user wants the bare calculator without a vector applied: https://www.first.org/cvss/calculator/4.0

Section 2 -- Scope.

  a. License grant.

       1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
          the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
          non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
          exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:

            a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
               in part; and

            b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.

       2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
          Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
          License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
          its terms and conditions.

       3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
          6(a).

       4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
          Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
          all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
          and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
          Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
          authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
          necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
          technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
          Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
          simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
          (4) never produces Adapted Material.

       5. Downstream recipients.

            a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
               recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
               receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
               Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
               Public License.

            b. Additional offer from the Licensor -- Adapted Material.
               Every recipient of Adapted Material from You
               automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to
               exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material
               under the conditions of the Adapter's License You apply.

            c. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
               any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
               apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
               Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
               Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
               Material.

       6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
          may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
          are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
          with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
          the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
          provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).

  b. Other rights.

       1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
          licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
          privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
          the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
          assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
          extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
          Rights, but not otherwise.

       2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
          Public License.

       3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
          collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
          Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
          under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
          licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
          reserves any right to collect such royalties.

          reasonably practicable.

  b. ShareAlike.

     In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share
     Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply.

       1. The Adapter's License You apply must be a Creative Commons
          license with the same License Elements, this version or
          later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.

       2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the
          Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition
          in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and
          context in which You Share Adapted Material.

       3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms
          or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological
          Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the
          rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.


Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.

Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:

  a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
     to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
     portion of the contents of the database;

  b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
     contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
     Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
     Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material,

     including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
  c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
     all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.


Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

  a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
     EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
     AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
     ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
     IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
     WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
     PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
     ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
     KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
     ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
     TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
     NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
     INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
     COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
     USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
     DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
     IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
     above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
     possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
     waiver of all liability.


Section 6 -- Term and Termination.

  a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
     Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
     this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
     terminate automatically.

  b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
     Section 6(a), it reinstates:

       1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
          it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
          violation; or

       2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.

     For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
     right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
     of this Public License.

  c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
     Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
     distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
     will not terminate this Public License.

  d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
     License.


Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.

  a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
     terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.

  b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
     Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
     independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.


Section 8 -- Interpretation.

  a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
     shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
     conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
     be made without permission under this Public License.

  b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
     deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
     minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
     cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
     without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
     conditions.

  c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
     failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
     Licensor.

  d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
     as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
     that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
     processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
