Although it isn't as cut and dry as "See this? It's an H!" etc., these
templates may give you some guidelines:

Subject: mapping vulnerabilities into high medium low risk

Hi,

Anyone know any open source methodology about categorizing
vulnerabilities? When doing a Pent Test, I need to categorize a particular
vulnerability into high medium or low risk. These vulnerabilities may be a
web application vulnerability or may be a new system vuln that has yet to
be discovered. So is there any open source methodology that give you a
guide to how to categorize the vuln?
