| Severity Level | Description | Example Vulnerability (DeFi Context) | Immediate Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Critical | Direct and immediate threat to core functionality, funds, or sensitive user data. | Remote code execution on a server managing private keys. | Shut down affected service. Patch immediately. Notify stakeholders. |
| High | Could lead to significant data exposure, financial loss, or system compromise. | Smart contract reentrancy vulnerability allowing fund drainage. | Deploy mitigation fix within 24 hours. Conduct post-mortem. |
| Medium | May expose non-critical data or be difficult to exploit, but still poses a risk. | Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) on a user dashboard page. | Schedule patch for the next release cycle (within 1-2 weeks). |
| Low | Minor issue with limited impact, such as information disclosure that is not sensitive. | Software version disclosure in an HTTP header. | Fix when time permits or accept the risk. |
