CvssSuite for Ruby
This Ruby gem helps you to process the vector of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System. Besides calculating the Base, Temporal and Environmental Score, you are able to extract the selected option.
[!IMPORTANT] This project could need some new maintainer(s). I am having less time and motivation to support this gem. Support for v4 was only possible with the help of the community and I am sure I will not implement any v4.x or v5.x support by myself. Since this gem is used in some projects I will not step down without any kind of support. If you are interested in CVSS and ruby, feel free to work on upcoming issues and let me (@Ollirocks) know if you are willing to become a maintainer. As of today there are only a very few issues each year but each new version of CVSS results in quite a lot of work. I am fine with staying the owner of this project until someone is willing to take over completely. I will not vanish from GitHub once and or all :smile: The same applies to the ruby gems account, I am willing to push new versions to rubygems.org until someone trustworthy is found to take over.

Known Issues
There is a possibility of implementations generating different scores (+/- 0,1) due to small floating-point inaccuracies. This can happen due to differences in floating point arithmetic between different languages and hardware platforms.
