To reduce this information overload and improve usability, AquilaX introduces the Security Rating mechanism. This feature provides a consolidated summary of scan results through a single, intuitive interface. The Security Rating offers a high-level overview, enabling users to quickly assess the security posture of their application before diving into individual findings. The rating is visualized as shown in the image below, with each rating tier mapped to a specific score range, as detailed in the following sections of this document.
Each repository begins with a baseline Security Score of 100. As issues are identified during scans, score deductions are applied based on the severity and classification of each finding. These deductions are calculated using a predefined scoring model that weighs the impact of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. The resulting score — after all deductions — is what determines the final Security Rating, as represented in the visual scale introduced above.
