Potemkin Understanding in LLMs: New Study Reveals Flaws in AI Benchmarks
New research reveals that LLMs often fake understanding, passing benchmarks but failing to apply concepts or stay internally consistent.
cvsser is a simple library for interpreting CVSS vector strings and converting their metrics into ready-to-publish formats.
>>> import cvsser
>>> import json
>>> sample = "CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C"
>>> vs = cvsser.VectorString(sample)
>>> print(vs.privileges_required)
N
>>> print(json.dumps(vs.to_dict(style="verbose", parentheticals="values", include="mandatory"), indent=2))
