CVSS has some formula, but it's a fundamentally flawed concept. It's a score for the worst possible case, not for a typical case. It's for ass-covering, not for being informative about the real risk.

For every boring API you can imagine someone using it for protecting nuclear launch codes, while having it exposed to arbitrary inputs from the internet. If it's technically possible, even if unrealistically stupid, CVSS treats it the same as being a fact, and we get spam about the sky falling due to ReDoS.

This is made worse by GitHub's vulnerability database being quantity-over-quality dumping ground and absolutely zero intelligence in Dependabot (ironic for a company aggressively inserting AI everywhere else)
