Vulnerability haruspicy: picking out risk signals from scoring system entrails

Vulnerability scoring frameworks promise clarity but often deliver confusion. CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) bends messy math into neat curves, EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) leans on opaque models, and SSVC (Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization) relies on structured intuition. 

Tod Beardsley explores the strengths and flaws of these systems, asking whether they improve risk decisions or simply rationalize them. Expect smart analysis, best practices (and astrology jokes!) along the way.
