# 🎬 Security Engineer Story: 7 Vulnerability Intelligence Scenarios Here are 7 realistic prompts that tell the story of how a security engineer uses these tools to improve their security assessment workflow: ## 🚨 **Scenario: Morning Security Alert - Log4Shell Investigation** ### 1️⃣ **CVE Details Lookup** - "What exactly is this vulnerability?" ``` Hey, I just got an alert about CVE-2021-44228 affecting our Java applications. So I can brief my team. Only use CVE Lookup ``` ### 2️⃣ **EPSS Score Lookup** - "How likely is this to be exploited?" ``` Now that I understand what CVE-2021-44228 is, I need to prioritize this among our 500+ other vulnerabilities. What's the EPSS score?. Only use EPSS tool ``` ### 3️⃣ **CVSS Score Calculator** - "How bad could this vulnerability be IF exploited? ``` I want to double-check the CVSS score for this vulnerabilty. ``` ### 4️⃣ **Vulnerability Search** - "Are there other related threats?" ``` Since we're dealing with a critical Log4j issue, I want to search for other recent Apache vulnerabilities that might affect us. Can you search for Apache-related vulnerabilities from the last year with HIGH or CRITICAL severity? I need to see if we have a pattern of Apache security issues we should address holistically. ``` ### 5️⃣ **Exploit Availability** - "Are attackers already using this?" ``` This CVE-2021-44228 is looking serious. Before I recommend emergency patching to the Chief Security Officer, I need to know: are there public exploits available? Are we seeing active exploitation in the wild? Check all the usual sources - GitHub, ExploitDB, Metasploit modules. This will determine if we go into crisis mode or proceed with controlled patching. ``` ### 6️⃣ **Vulnerability Timeline** - "When was this disclosed and what's the patch status?" ``` I need to understand the timeline for CVE-2021-44228. When was it first published? How long has it been public? Are patches available from vendors? This information will help me explain to leadership why we might have been caught off-guard and what our remediation timeline should look like. ``` ### 7️⃣ **VEX Status** - "Is our specific Apache deployment affected?" ``` Finally, I need to check the VEX status for CVE-2021-44228 specifically for our Apache HTTP Server deployments. We have Apache HTTP Server 2.4.51 running on our web servers. Has Apache provided any VEX statements about whether their HTTP server is affected by this Log4j vulnerability? I need product-specific guidance to determine our actual exposure. ``` ## 🎯 **The Complete Story Arc** This sequence tells the story of a **complete vulnerability assessment workflow**: 1. **🔍 Discovery**: "What is this threat?" (CVE Details) 2. **⚡ Prioritization**: "How urgent is this?" (EPSS Score) 3. **📊 Verification**: "Is the severity accurate?" (CVSS Calculator) 4. **🌐 Context**: "Are there related threats?" (Vulnerability Search) 5. **🛡️ Threat Intel**: "Are attackers using this?" (Exploit Availability) 6. **⏰ Timeline**: "What's the patch situation?" (Vulnerability Timeline) 7. **🎯 Impact**: "Does this affect our specific products?" (VEX Status) ## 🎬 **Video Narrative Flow** **Opening**: *"It's 9 AM Monday morning. Simo, our Senior Security Engineer, gets a critical alert about CVE-2021-44228..."* **Act 1** - **Investigation**: Sarah needs to understand what this vulnerability is **Act 2** - **Assessment**: She evaluates the risk and urgency **Act 3** - **Analysis**: She gathers intelligence about exploitation **Act 4** - **Planning**: She determines timeline and impact **Closing**: *"In 10 minutes, Simo has a complete threat assessment that used to take hours of manual research..."* ## 🚀 **Key Messages for Each Tool** 1. **CVE Lookup**: "From alert to understanding in seconds" 2. **EPSS Score**: "AI-powered risk prioritization" 3. **CVSS Calculator**: "Verify and understand severity metrics" 4. **Vulnerability Search**: "Find related threats automatically" 5. **Exploit Availability**: "Real-time threat intelligence" 6. **Timeline Analysis**: "Patch status and remediation planning" 7. **VEX Status**: "Product-specific impact assessment" This creates a compelling narrative showing how vulnerability intelligence tools transform a security engineer's workflow from hours of manual research to minutes of automated analysis! 🎯
