How to Assess Severity Scores with Claude

Assess vulnerability severity with Claude and ToolRouter. Prioritize by CVSS scores.

Tool
Vulnerability Database icon
Vulnerability Database

Claude goes beyond raw CVSS scores by analyzing the full attack vector, weighing exploitability against your specific deployment, and producing a contextual priority ranking. It can break down each CVSS component, compare severity across your vulnerability backlog, and help you build a remediation plan ordered by actual risk rather than generic scores.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Vulnerability Database tool:

  1. Ask Claude: "Assess the severity of these CVEs using vulnerability-database" and provide the IDs
  2. Claude retrieves severity scores and provides a prioritized assessment
  3. Ask Claude to rank them considering your deployment context

Example Prompt

Try this with Claude using the Vulnerability Database tool
Assess the severity of CVE-2024-1234, CVE-2024-5678, and CVE-2024-9012. Rank them by urgency for our internet-facing web application.

Tips

  • Ask Claude to explain the CVSS vector components for each vulnerability
  • Request a contextual risk assessment based on your specific deployment
  • Use severity assessments to justify patching priorities to engineering teams
