HackerOne’s EPSS Integration for Better CVE Scoring and Remediation

At HackerOne, we’ve always been committed to helping customers navigate the complex landscape of prioritizing vulnerability remediation. The CVE Discovery feature in Hacktivity is instrumental in prioritization efforts; it offers customers insights into which CVEs are actively reported by hackers. This visibility provides intelligence on the ease of finding and exploiting these vulnerabilities, thus providing a practical lens to view and prioritize remediation efforts, effectively augmenting the CVSS rating.

Today, we are making that even more accurate and easier by integrating EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) into Hacktivity. 

What Is EPSS?

EPSS is a new and upcoming industry standard developed and governed by the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), a group responsible for a number of vulnerability scoring protocols. EPSS provides a live measure of exploitability for each CVE. EPSS aims to inform us of exploitation risk by providing a more accurate portrayal of exploit likelihood using a predictive model. An EPSS score estimates the probability of observing in-the-wild exploitation attempts against that vulnerability in the next 30 days. In other words, it is another excellent source of context to factor into your vulnerability backlog prioritization efforts.

What Does This Mean for Hacktivity?

EPSS scores are now directly integrated into Hacktivity’s CVE Discovery page on HackerOne. Customers can combine well-known CVSS ratings with EPSS and HackerOne’s platform intelligence, gaining a significant information advantage in the remediation of CVEs. This advantage allows enterprises to prioritize remediation efforts more effectively and establish risk-aligned remediation SLAs.
