Align Target Risk Meter Color With Severity Context

Update the Target Risk Meter color logic so that targets with only low-severity findings (e.g., Severity 3) are visually represented as low risk, with a color that reflects minor exposure rather than a misleading “perfect/fully healthy” state.

Current Behavior

  • A target with a Severity 3 vulnerability (example: TLS 1.1 enabled) may have an overall risk score of 100.

  • Based on current thresholds:

    • Low risk: 0–299

    • Medium risk: 300–599

    • High risk: 600+

  • The target is marked green on the risk meter, visually implying no meaningful risk, even though an actionable vulnerability exists.

Problem

  • The current green risk meter conflates “low risk” with “no risk.”

  • Customers interpret a fully green meter as “nothing to address,” which reduces visibility of:

    • Minor but actionable hygiene issues (TLS 1.1, weak ciphers, minor headers, legacy protocols).

  • This causes confusion when:

    • An issue list clearly shows open vulnerabilities

    • But the target visually appears “perfect”

Requested Enhancement

Red - High Risk Target
Orange - Medium Risk Target
Yellow - Low Risk Target
Green or another color - Fully Clean Target
