  • Critical: These are high-risk vulnerabilities that need immediate attention.
  • High: These vulnerabilities pose a significant risk and should be addressed promptly.
  • Medium: These vulnerabilities are less severe but still require attention.
  • Low: These vulnerabilities have a low impact and can be addressed at a later time.
