[Verse 1]
Category One screams danger at your door
Confidentiality bleeding through the floor
Integrity shattered, availability gone
Thirty days to patch before it's drawn and quartered
Hackers feast on vulnerabilities this raw
Immediate action or your kingdom falls
[Chorus]
Cat One, Cat Two, Cat Three - severity's ladder climbing
High to medium to low - but each needs perfect timing
Thirty, ninety, one-eighty days
Fix the flaws before they blaze
STIG categories show the way
From critical to mild decay
[Verse 2]
Category Two lurks in shadows, biding time
Medium threat that's building up to crime
Combine with others, watch the dominos fall
Ninety days to barricade the wall
Degradation creeping through your stance
One vulnerability becomes an avalanche
[Chorus]
Cat One, Cat Two, Cat Three - severity's ladder climbing
High to medium to low - but each needs perfect timing
Thirty, ninety, one-eighty days
Fix the flaws before they blaze
STIG categories show the way
From critical to mild decay
[Verse 3]
Category Three whispers soft but stays
Defense-in-depth eroding through the maze
Audit trails vanishing like morning mist
Low severity but it can't be dismissed
Six months to seal these subtle cracks
Before they multiply and circle back
[Bridge]
Exploitation versus degradation
Compromise or just temptation
Each category tells the tale
Of how quickly systems fail
[Chorus]
Cat One, Cat Two, Cat Three - severity's ladder climbing
High to medium to low - but each needs perfect timing
Thirty, ninety, one-eighty days
Fix the flaws before they blaze
STIG categories show the way
From critical to mild decay
[Outro]
DISA's wisdom carved in stone
Each severity's risk profile known
Remediation windows mark the clock
Before your fortress turns to chalk
