Bridging the Gap Between Security Metrics and Key Risk Indicators: An Empirical Framework for Vulnerability Prioritization

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.12450v1 Announce Type: cross Organisations overwhelmingly prioritize vulnerability remediation using Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) severity scores, yet CVSS classifiers achieve an Area Under the Precision-Recall Curve (AUPRC) of 0.011 on real-world exploitation data, near random chance. We propose a composite Key Risk Indicator grounded in expected-loss decomposition, integrating dimensions of threat, impact, and exposure.
