Threat intelligence integration

How does Invicti AppSec calculate the risk rating?

When CISA KEV + EPSS integration is enabled, Invicti AppSec can automatically adjust the severity of vulnerabilities based on the risk rating that's calculated by looking at the EPSS probability and the percentile. This configuration is made when activating the CISA KEV + EPSS integration in the first place.

EPSS probability and percentile are updated daily based on the latest EPSS model available.

When computing the risk rating, EPSS percentile supersedes EPSS probability and if the EPSS percentile is above 70th, risk rating is calculated instantly by Invicti AppSec without looking at EPSS probability.

Risk rating calculation when EPSS percentile is below 70th

If the EPSS percentile is below 70th, then the following logic is applied based on EPSS probability:

EPSS ProbabilityRisk RatingSeverity
between 0% and 10%0Low
between 10% and 30%1Low
between 30% and 70%2Medium
