CompTIA CySA+ CS0-003 Practice Question

When prioritizing vulnerabilities, the most critical factor to consider is the risk score, which takes into account both the likelihood and impact of a vulnerability being exploited. High-risk scores indicate that vulnerabilities pose a significant threat, and addressing them helps to mitigate potential severe impacts on the organization. While affected hosts, recurrence, and complexity of mitigation are also important, they do not directly measure the immediate threat level as effectively as the risk score.
