# Attack Complexity (MAC) This metric describes the conditions beyond the attacker's control that must exist in order to exploit the vulnerability. Such conditions may require the presence of certain system/protocol configuration settings or computational exceptions, as well as time requirements or any other uncontrollable (by the attacker) events' presence for the attack to be successful. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.r.xyz/main/rvss-calculator/attack-complexity-mac.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
