Bugcrowd Releases Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy 1.7 With New Automotive Security Misconfiguration

Bugcrowd's latest Vulnerability Rating Taxonomy (VRT) version, 1.7, has been released with updates addressing the automotive industry's security misconfigurations and other vulnerabilities. The taxonomy is a living document that evolves based on community feedback through an open-source GitHub repository. This update includes specific security misconfiguration vulnerabilities for the automotive sector, reflecting the growing number of critical vulnerabilities reported in this industry. Other updates to VRT 1.7 include new P2 and P4 variants, updated remediation advice links, and customization options for customers with different priorities and needs. The changes will be implemented into Bugcrowd's Crowdcontrol platform the week of March 25th.
