Abstract
An embodiment includes invoking a search of vulnerability chain data of a local database using a database query to obtain a search result, where the database query is based on a description string associated with a new vulnerability, and where the search result comprises a plurality of linked vulnerabilities that collectively form a vulnerability chain. The embodiment also includes identifying a vulnerability characteristic of a linked vulnerability of the plurality of linked vulnerabilities in the vulnerability chain. The embodiment also includes generating, as a new vulnerability chain, a modified version of the vulnerability chain by appending the new vulnerability to the vulnerability chain. The embodiment also includes assigning an updated vulnerability score to the new vulnerability based at least in part on the identified vulnerability characteristic of the linked vulnerability. The embodiment also includes updating the local database to include the new vulnerability chain and the updated vulnerability score.
