What do the Risk Levels for each security issue denote?
X-Force assigns risk levels to each security issue to describe the extent of damage that could be caused by a specific security issue. There are three possible risk levels. High: Security issues that allow immediate remote or local access, or immediate execution of code or commands, with unauthorized privileges. Medium: Security issues that have the potential of granting access or allowing code execution by means of complex or lengthy exploit procedures, or low risk issues applied to major Internet components. Low: Security issues that deny service or provide non-system information that could be used to formulate structured attacks on a target, but not directly gain unauthorized access.
