Explanation

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) uses three metric groups to assess vulnerabilities: Base, Temporal, and Environmental. The Temporal score reflects the time-sensitive attributes of a vulnerability. It captures changes in the severity of a vulnerability over time, such as the availability of patches, the maturity of exploit code, or workarounds. Therefore, the Temporal score can change as new information becomes available, such as the release of a patch or the development of exploit code.
