Security teams deal with thousands of CVEs every year. Not all of them are equally urgent, but most scoring systems give you CVSS alone, which tells you severity but not likelihood of exploitation. RiskScore combines three signals into one 0–100 composite score: CVSS — base severity from NVD EPSS — exploitation probability from FIRST CISA KEV — confirmed active exploitation status The result: a single number you can sort, threshold, and act on.
