PHP Class for Common Vulnerability Scoring System Version (CVSS)

CVSS

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) provides a robust and useful scoring system for IT vulnerabilities.

See https://www.first.org/cvss for more informations.

Documentation

1 - Installation

Dowload the CVSS library using composer:

composer require ywh/cvss

2 - Usage

2.1 Vector parser

First, you need to give the CVSSv3 calculator a valid CVSS vector:

use YWH\Cvss;

$cvss = new Cvss3();
$cvss->setVector('CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:N');

Base metrics (AV,AC,PR,UI,S,C,I and A) must be defined.

An undefined metric will throw the following error:

Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\Exception\UndefinedOptionsException

A missing metric will throw the following error:

Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\Exception\MissingOptionsException

A wrong metric value will throw the following error:

Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\Exception\InvalidOptionsException

Once the vector is valid, you will able to get several informations about the vector.

2.1 Scores

Score is float number from 0 to 10. CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N vector has a 2.7 base score.

2.1.1 Base score

use YWH\Cvss;

$cvss = new Cvss3();
$cvss->setVector('CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:N');

echo 'Base score: ' $cvss->getBaseScore();
// Base score: 0

2.1.2 Temporal score

use YWH\Cvss;

$cvss = new Cvss3();
$cvss->setVector('CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:T/RC:C');

echo 'Base score: ' $cvss->getBaseScore();
// Base score: 2.7
echo 'Temporal score: ' $cvss->getTemporalScore();
// Temporal score: 2.4

2.1.2 Environmental score

use YWH\Cvss;

$cvss = new Cvss3();
$cvss->setVector('CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:T/RC:U/CR:H/IR:M/AR:H/MAV:A/MAC:H/MPR:L/MUI:R/MS:U/MC:H/MI:N/MA:L');

echo 'Base score: ' $cvss->getBaseScore();
// Base score: 9.1
echo 'Temporal score: ' $cvss->getTemporalScore();
// Temporal score: 7.4
echo 'Environmental score: ' $cvss->getEnvironmentalScore();
// Environmental score: 7.4

2.2 Qualitative Severity Rating Scale

All score can be mapped to a qualitative rating, defined in the table bellow:

Value	Textual representation	CVSS Score
N	None	0.0
L	Low	0.1 - 3.9
M	Medium	4.0 - 6.9
H	High	7.0 - 8.9
C	Critical	9.0 - 10.0
