October 2025 monthly summary for org-metaeffekt/metaeffekt-core: Delivered a major overhaul of the Vulnerability Priority Scoring System, enabling independent scaling for CVSS and keyword scores, removing the isElevated concept, and introducing a unified label system including a new 'none' severity category. Reports were updated to reflect the new scoring model, and configuration was refined to tune scoring behavior and severity ranges. This work aligns risk prioritization with central security policy values and enhances roadmap-driven remediation planning.

June 2025: Delivered two major features in org-metaeffekt/metaeffekt-core focused on security policy reliability and data processing robustness. CSP Loader Refactor and Security Policy Loading Enhancement simplified CSP configuration, removed legacy security policy parsing, added a capability to load multiple configuration files, and consolidated loading logic to improve maintainability and security policy handling. MITRE ATT&CK and CAPEC Data Processing Refactor improved JSON parsing/serialization for AeaaCapecEntry and AeaaCweEntry, renamed AeaaConsequence to AeaaWeaknessConsequence for clarity, added new enum constants, and strengthened error handling in AeaaMitre to boost robustness and data integrity. These changes reduce configuration drift, improve data quality, and lay groundwork for scalable deployments across security features. Commits: 7bfa2d053720a2a5f679a806ecffde39b11b7af6 (AE-1120) and 926c7a4dec1d48c1838e371f979d460b9ba04285 (CWE/CAPEC Review).
