In cybersecurity, a vulnerability is a weakness in a system, software, network, or process that can be exploited by a threat actor to gain unauthorized access or cause harm. Security professionals identify, classify, and prioritize vulnerabilities (often using standards like CVSS and CVE) to reduce an organization's attack surface. Understanding vulnerabilities is foundational to risk management, penetration testing, and IT security roles.
