Here are brief explanations of each term:
CVSS
CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) is a standardized method for assigning a numerical score to a vulnerability, based on its characteristics and potential impact. This score can help organizations prioritize their efforts to address vulnerabilities in their systems and networks.
CVE
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is a database that lists known vulnerabilities in software and hardware products. Each vulnerability is assigned a unique identifier called a CVE ID, which can be used to look up more information about the vulnerability and how it can be mitigated.
Attack surface
Attack surface refers to the total number of potential points of entry that an attacker could use to try to gain access to a system or network. A system with a large attack surface may be more vulnerable to attack, as there are more potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
Attack vector
Attack vector refers to the specific path or method that an attacker uses to try to gain access to a system or network. This could include exploiting a vulnerability in a piece of software, using a phishing attack to trick a user into divulging their login credentials, or physically accessing a system through an unsecured port or device.
