# Vulnerability severity levels **(ULTIMATE)**
|
|
|
|
GitLab vulnerability analyzers attempt to return vulnerability severity level values whenever
|
|
possible. The following is a list of available GitLab vulnerability severity levels, ranked from
|
|
most to least severe:
|
|
|
|
- `Critical`
|
|
- `High`
|
|
- `Medium`
|
|
- `Low`
|
|
- `Info`
|
|
- `Unknown`
|
|
|
|
Most GitLab vulnerability analyzers are wrappers around popular open source scanning tools. Each
|
|
open source scanning tool provides their own native vulnerability severity level value. These values
|
|
can be one of the following:
|
|
|
|
| Native vulnerability severity level type | Examples |
|
|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| String | `WARNING`, `ERROR`, `Critical`, `Negligible` |
|
|
| Integer | `1`, `2`, `5` |
|
|
| [CVSS v2.0 Rating](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss) | `(AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N)` |
|
|
| [CVSS v3.1 Qualitative Severity Rating](https://www.first.org/cvss/v3.1/specification-document#Qualitative-Severity-Rating-Scale) | `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H` |
|
|
|
|
To provide consistent vulnerability severity level values, the GitLab vulnerability analyzers
|
|
convert from the above values to a standardized GitLab vulnerability severity level, as outlined in
|
|
the following tables:

## Fuzz Testing
|
|
|
|
All fuzz testing results are reported as Unknown. They should be reviewed and triaged manually to find exploitable faults to prioritize for fixing.
