Learn how CVSS scores grade vulnerability severity from 0 to 10, using attack vector, complexity, privileges, and CIA impacts, with a practical calculator demonstration.
Learn how the common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) scores vulnerabilities using the base metric group, focusing on the attack vector and its network, adjacent, local, and physical categories.
Explain attack complexity (ac) in cvss with low and high subcategories, showing how low ac allows repeated attacks to raise the score, while high ac relies on target configuration settings.
Explore the CVSS base metric privilege requirements, from none to high. Learn how pre-login and post-login vulnerabilities affect the base score by attacker privileges, with XSS examples.
Explore how user interaction, or ui, affects cvss scoring by distinguishing none from required and showing how victim actions lower the base score in attacks like csrf.

Updated : Live Website Hunting & Practicals for all the latest CVE's of 2025
Welcome to CVE's for Bug Bounties & Penetration Testing Course. This course covers web application attacks and how to earn bug bounties by exploitation of CVE's on bug bounty programs. There is no prerequisite of prior hacking knowledge and you will be able to perform web attacks and hunt bugs on live websites and secure them.
This course is not like other hacking or penetration testing course with outdated vulnerabilities and only lab attacks. This contains maximum live websites to make you comfortable with the Live Hunting Environment.
This course will start from basics of CVE Introduction, CVSS Score, Severity and Priority and dive in advance exploitation of CVE's.
This course is highly practical and is made on Live websites to give you the exact environment when you start your penetrating testing or bug hunting journey.
We will start from the basics of CVE's, How to setup Burp Suite Proxy for packet interception to the exploitation of vulnerabilities leading to High Severity Bugs on live websites.
This course is divided into a number of sections, each section covers how to hunt, exploit and report a vulnerability in an ethical manner.
After identification of a vulnerability, we will exploit to leverage the maximum severity out of it.
In this course, you will also learn How can you start your journey on many famous bug hunting platforms like Bugcrowd, Hackerone and Open Bug Bounty.
Along with this, you will be able to hunt and report vulnerabilities to NCIIPC Government of India, also to private companies and to their responsible disclosure programs.
You will also learn Advance techniques to bypass filters and the developers logic for each kind of vulnerability. I have also shared personal tips and tricks for each attacks where you can trick the application and find bugs quickly.
This course also includes the Breakdown of all Hackerone Reports which are found and submitted by other hackers for better understanding as we will cover each type of technique in the course.
This course also includes important interview questions and answers which will be helpful in any penetration testing job interview.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the course content:

Notes:
This course is created for educational purposes only and all the websites I have performed attacks are ethically reported and fixed.
Testing any website which doesn’t have a Responsible Disclosure Policy is unethical and against the law, the author doesn’t hold any responsibility.
