CVSS, at least in its current form, needs to be taken out back and shot. See, for instance, https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/01/23/cvss-is-dead-to-us/

I like the idea of CVSS, but it's definitely less precise than I'd like as-is. e.g. I've found that most issues which I would normally think of as low-severity get bumped up to medium by CVSS just for being network-based attack vectors, even if the actual issue is extremely edge case, extremely complex and/or computationally expensive to exploit, or not clearly exploitable at all.
