Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for vulnerability proofing the use of risk scores in the administration of hardware components of an IHS (Information Handling System). Proposed configurations for a first of the hardware components of the IHS are detected, where the proposed configurations are associated with a risk score. Catalogs specifying known vulnerabilities of hardware components are accessed and used to determine whether any of the proposed configurations of the first hardware component are identified as vulnerable in one or more of the catalogs. When a vulnerability for the proposed configuration is identified in the catalogs, the risk score of the configuration is increased based on the vulnerabilities identified in the plurality of catalogs. When the risk score is increased to an elevated level, the hardware component is disabled until the proposed configurations are changed to include no configurations with vulnerabilities identified in the catalogs.
