SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenge of inconsistent and subjective security risk assessment by applying a rigorous, evidence-based calibration process to vulnerability findings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Risk Matrix Scoring: Evaluates findings against a 1-10 scale using impact, likelihood, and context-aware multipliers.
  • Evidence-Based Triage: Automatically incorporates reproduction status and threat model data to ensure scores reflect real-world viability.
  • Use Case: A security engineer has a list of raw vulnerability reports and needs to prioritize them for remediation; this skill processes the findings to produce a standardized, actionable risk report.

Quick Start

Execute the mantis-calibrate command to process all findings in the workspace and append final risk scores to the JSON reports.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate risk scores for security vulnerabilities consistently?▼

Automated security pipelines require consistent, evidence-based prioritization of vulnerabilities. This calibration process evaluates findings against defined threat models, applying context-aware multipliers and reproduction status to ensure scores reflect real-world viability.

How do I automate vulnerability triage in a security pipeline?▼

Automated security pipelines require consistent, evidence-based prioritization of vulnerabilities. This calibration process evaluates findings against defined threat models, applying context-aware multipliers and reproduction status to ensure scores reflect real-world viability.

What is evidence-based security triage and how does threat modeling apply?▼

Evidence-based security triage incorporates reproduction status and threat model data to ensure risk scores reflect real-world viability. Threat modeling provides the defined context used to evaluate impact and likelihood for vulnerability findings.

Does risk matrix scoring work with automated security pipelines?▼

Risk matrix scoring works with automated security pipelines by applying a 1-10 scale using impact, likelihood, and context-aware multipliers. It satisfies requirements for snapshot-aware provenance tracking and sanity triage.

What are the limitations of automated vulnerability risk calibration?▼

Automated vulnerability risk calibration depends on a defined threat model and available reproduction status data to function accurately. Without evidence-based inputs and context-aware multipliers, the resulting risk scores may not reflect real-world production viability.
