In my use of report make by openvas scanner, i already make the choice to only use cvss, and rename it as score ;-) and color (critical/high/medium/low/None) of score according the value.

My 2 cents

Hello OpenVAS Users,

I like to collect you opinion on this matter:

In SVN trunk we use columns in various places named "Threat" / "Severity" /
"CVSS" or "Max CVSS". Several you can see already in OpenVAS-6.

One main idea is to use always the same "colored severity bar" in those columns.
Those who use trunk have seen the bar already. I attached a
screenshot for convenience.

It allows CVSS value (width of the bar) and severity classes ("High",
"Medium", ... - color of bar)
as alternative or in combination.
I intend to have this the unified point for visualization of a severity which then could be user-configurable regarding the coloring and class ranges.

So, this bar should be used in any place where we display a "threat", "severity"
or "cvss".

Which in turn created the desire for me to unify the column names or actually
the terminology in general.

So, the questions is whether to consolidate any occurrance of those terms
into a single one and also which is the best term?

Candidates are "Threat", "Severity", "Score". I'd appreciate if we can
find a single word for it.

I assume that there would be some consequence in case we rename various column like that powerfilters would need to be converted regarding the column name
change. More things to consider?

You opinion and feedback is welcome.

Best
