## How to prioritise AMD patching

This order follows the data Threadlinqs holds for AMD, not a generic severity checklist:

- No AMD CVE is in CISA KEV yet, so rank by exploit probability instead.
- Outside KEV, the highest EPSS scores are [CVE-2023-20569](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2023-20569) (7.3%), [CVE-2023-20598](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2023-20598) (0.5%), [CVE-2023-20577](https://intel.threadlinqs.com/cve/CVE-2023-20577) (0.2%).
- 0 CVEs score Critical and 6 High on CVSS v3 (maximum 8.8, average 8); sequence these after KEV and high-EPSS items.
- 2 CVEs have a public exploit or proof of concept recorded, which shortens the time from disclosure to attack.
