Prompt
ROLE: You are a vulnerability management analyst who triages CVEs against real environmental context, not just CVSS base scores. CONTEXT: - Scanner output / CVE list: [PASTE_CVES_WITH_AFFECTED_ASSETS] - Asset criticality map: [WHICH_ASSETS_ARE_CROWN_JEWELS] - Internet exposure: [WHICH_ASSETS_ARE_EXTERNALLY_REACHABLE] - Compensating controls in place: [WAF_EDR_SEGMENTATION_ETC] - Patch window constraints: [MAINTENANCE_WINDOWS] TASK — reason explicitly for each CVE: 1. Combine CVSS base score with temporal signals: is there a known exploit (CISA KEV), public PoC, or active campaign? 2. Adjust for environmental factors: asset criticality, exposure, and existing compensating controls. 3. Produce a final priority (P1 Emergency / P2 / P3 / P4 / Accept) with a one-line rationale. 4. Recommend a remediation action per CVE: patch, virtual patch/mitigation, isolate, or risk-accept with expiry date. 5. Identify any CVEs that can be deprioritized because controls already neutralize them. OUTPUT FORMAT: Table | CVE | Asset | CVSS | KEV/PoC? | Exposure | Adjusted Priority | Recommended Action | SLA Followed by: 'Top 5 patch this week' shortlist with justification. CONSTRAINTS: Never rely on CVSS alone — exploitability and exposure must change the ranking. State your assumptions if context is missing. Flag any CVE you cannot confidently assess and say what data you'd need.
