1. vulnerability is the potential loss to an organization as for example, the risk resulting from the    misuse of its computer. this may involve unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized modification and/or loss of information resources, as well as the authorized but incorrect use of a computer. risk can be measured by performing risk analysis.

2.Vulnerability is something capable of exploiting vulnerability in the security of a computer system or application vulnerability include both hazards and events that can trigger flaws.

3. vulnerability is a design, implementation, or operations flaw that may be exploited by a threat, the flaws causes the computer system  or application to operate in a fashion different from its published specifications and to result in destruction or misuse of equipment or data.
