Based on the CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) and EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) scores, Target 1 is the most likely to get attacked.
* CVSS:
* Definition: CVSS provides a numerical score to represent the severity of a vulnerability, helping to prioritize the response based on the potential impact.
* Score Range: Scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating more severe vulnerabilities.
* EPSS:
* Definition: EPSS estimates the likelihood that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days.
* Score Range: EPSS scores range from 0 to 1, with higher scores indicating a higher likelihood of exploitation.
* Analysis:
* Target 1: CVSS = 4, EPSS = 0.6
* Target 2: CVSS = 2, EPSS = 0.3
* Target 3: CVSS = 1, EPSS = 0.6
* Target 4: CVSS = 4.5, EPSS = 0.4
* Target 1 has a moderate CVSS score and a high EPSS score, indicating it has a significant vulnerability that is quite likely to be exploited.

By focusing on Target 1, which has a balanced combination of severity and exploitability, the penetration tester can address the most likely target for attacks based on the given scores.
