Don't use the CVSS base score by itself as a metric. Unfortunately, the 
scoring in the NVD and standards that require it encourage it.

There was talk about the possibility of "chaining" vulnerabilities in 
CVSS 3. Each vulnerability would still be given an independent score, 
but guidance would be given on how to score a vulnerability introduced 
by combining other vulnerabilities.
