The Chief Security Architect must prioritize which weakness to fix first. They have two scoring datasets available: CVSS and CWSS. The Dilemma: One engineer argues, “We should only use CVSS because it’s the industry standard for vulnerability severity.” Another responds: “CVSS is insufficient here; we need CWSS to make a business-aligned decision.” Question: In the context of this pre-release development phase, why is the second engineer correct?
