Virulence choices
Slow: Steps 1-4 of the kill chain cannot be reliably automated for this vulnerability for some reason. These steps are reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, and exploitation. Example reasons for why a step may not be reliably automatable include (1) the vulnerable component is not searchable or enumerable on the network, (2) weaponization may require human direction for each target, (3) delivery may require channels that widely deployed network security configurations block, and (4) exploitation may be frustrated by adequate exploit-prevention techniques enabled by default; ASLR is an example of an exploit-prevention tool.
Rapid: Steps 1-4 of the of the kill chain can be reliably automated. If the vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) or command injection, the response is likely rapid.

Technical Impact
Partial: The exploit gives the adversary limited control over, or information exposure about, the behavior of the software that contains the vulnerability. Or the exploit gives the adversary an importantly low stochastic opportunity for total control. In this context, “low” means that the attacker cannot reasonably make enough attempts to overcome the low chance of each attempt not working. Denial of service is a form of limited control over the behavior of the vulnerable component.

Support: The operation of the vulnerable component merely supports mission essential functions for two or more entities.
EssentialThe vulnerable component directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity, and failure may (but need not) lead to overall mission failure.
