CvssSuite for .NET

This NuGet package helps you to process the vector of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System. Besides calculating the Base, Temporal and Environmental Score, you are able to extract the selected option.

Installation

The best and easiest way to add the CvssSuite to your .NET project is to use the NuGet package manager.

With Visual Studio IDE

From within Visual Studio, you can use the NuGet GUI to search for and install the CvssSuite NuGet package. Or, as a shortcut, simply type the following command into the Package Manager Console:

Install-Package CvssSuite

With .NET Core Command Line Tools

If you are building with the .NET Core command line tools, then you can run the following command from within your project directory:

dotnet add package CvssSuite

Usage

using Cvss.Suite;

Known Issues

Currently it is not possible to leave an attribute blank instead of ND/X. If you don't have a value for an attribute, please use ND/X instead.

There is a possibility of implementations generating different scores (+/- 0,1) due to small floating-point inaccuracies. This can happen due to differences in floating point arithmetic between different languages and hardware platforms.
