A CVSS 9.8 vulnerability that is never exploited is less dangerous than a CVSS 6.5 actively used in ransomware campaigns. Yet many organizations still chase the highest scores first, wasting time and leaving real threats exposed. KEV lists help, but they are reactive and often lag behind active exploitation. Attackers move faster than static scoring systems. If your prioritization strategy starts and ends with CVSS, you are playing catch-up.
