During a recent vulnerability assessment, you have identified a security flaw within your company's web application. After research, you realize this flaw requires a sophisticated level of technical expertise to exploit, a specific set of circumstances to be present, and specialized access to network configurations. How would you categorize this flaw within the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) in terms of Attack complexity?
In the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), an attack that requires a high level of skill, certain conditions, and specialized network access to be exploited is categorized as having 'High' attack complexity. This means that it's more difficult for attackers to exploit the vulnerability. A 'Low' attack complexity would imply that the vulnerability is easy to exploit, often requiring no special conditions or skills. 'Medium' complexity is not a valid CVSS rating, and 'Variable' complexity does not exist as an attribute in the CVSS.
