Which criterion in the Base Metric Group Exploitability metrics reflects the proximity of the threat actor to the vulnerable component?

Which criterion in the Base Metric Group Exploitability metrics reflects the proximity of the threat actor to the vulnerable component?

• user interaction
• attack vector
• attack complexity
• privileges required

Explanation:

The Base Metric Group Exploitability metrics include the criteria:

• Attack vector – a metric that reflects the proximity of the threat actor to the vulnerable component
• Attack complexity – a metric that expresses the number of components, software, hardware, or networks, that are beyond control of the attacker and that must be present in order for a vulnerability to be successfully exploited
• Privileges required – a metric that captures the level of access that is required for a successful exploit of the vulnerability
• User interaction – second component of the attack complexity metric that expresses the presence or absence of the requirement for user interaction in order for an exploit to be successful
• Scope – a metric that expresses whether multiple authorities must be involved in an exploit
