Answer Description

The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) provides a score that ranges from 0.0 to 10.0, with higher scores indicating a more severe impact of the vulnerability. The severity of scores is typically categorized as 'Low' (0.0-3.9), 'Medium' (4.0-6.9), 'High' (7.0-8.9), and 'Critical' (9.0-10.0). Therefore, a score of 9.8 falls into the 'Critical' category, indicating a very severe level of vulnerability that should be addressed as a top priority. The differentiation among categories prevents confusion and ensures that a systematic approach is followed to address vulnerabilities according to their impact.
