Severity

The severity of the finding.

The finding provider can provide the initial severity. The finding provider can only update the severity if it hasn't been updated using BatchUpdateFindings.

The finding must have either Label or Normalized populated. If only one of these attributes is populated, then Security Hub automatically populates the other one. If neither attribute is populated, then the finding is invalid. Label is the preferred attribute.

Label

The severity value of the finding. The allowed values are the following.

INFORMATIONAL - No issue was found.
LOW - The issue does not require action on its own.
MEDIUM - The issue must be addressed but not urgently.
HIGH - The issue must be addressed as a priority.
CRITICAL - The issue must be remediated immediately to avoid it escalating.

If you provide Normalized and don't provide Label, then Label is set automatically as follows.

0 - INFORMATIONAL
1–39 - LOW
40–69 - MEDIUM
70–89 - HIGH
90–100 - CRITICAL

Type: String

Valid Values: INFORMATIONAL | LOW | MEDIUM | HIGH | CRITICAL

Required: No

Normalized

Deprecated. The normalized severity of a finding. Instead of providing Normalized, provide Label.

The value of Normalized can be an integer between 0 and 100.

If you provide Label and don't provide Normalized, then Normalized is set automatically as follows.

INFORMATIONAL - 0
LOW - 1
MEDIUM - 40
HIGH - 70
CRITICAL - 90
