UnverifiedIn defense-in-depth, even if a single vulnerability is assessed as low-risk, it should be assumed that it could become a link in an attack chain.72% similarUnverifiedIn a chained attack, a single vulnerability often yields only limited privileges, and the attacker needs to string together privilege escalation, information leakage, persistence and other steps; RCP's design of scoring each component independently is inherently unable to express cross-component dependencies — even if every component is individually assessed as low-risk, chained together they may still constitute a complete attack chain.70% similarUnverifiedWhen a security vulnerability is combined with an extremely high system install base, the overall risk exposure is significantly amplified even if the attack was initially targeted.68% similarUnverifiedVulnerabilities actively introduced by designers are referred to as intrinsic vulnerabilities, as distinct from externally injected attacks, and carry higher remediation costs.68% similar
