Docker Scout doesn't implement a proprietary vulnerability metrics system. All
metrics are inherited from security advisories that Docker Scout integrates
with. Advisories may use different thresholds for classifying vulnerabilities,
but most of them adhere to the CVSS v3.0 specification, which maps CVSS scores
to severity ratings according to the following table:
with. Advisories may use different thresholds for classifying vulnerabilities.
When the selected advisory source provides both CVSS v4 and v3 data, Docker
Scout prefers CVSS v4. The qualitative severity ratings defined by CVSS v3.x
and v4.0 use the same score ranges:

| CVSS score | Severity rating |
| ---------- | ---------------- |
