According to the PCI DSS v3.2.1 Quick Reference Guide1, the intent of assigning a risk ranking to vulnerabilities is to prioritize the highest risk items so they can be addressed more quickly, rather than ensuring all vulnerabilities are addressed within 30 days or replacing the need to quarterly ASV scans or ensuring that critical security patches are installed at least quarterly. This is one of the requirements for ensuring that vulnerabilities are identified and mitigated as soon as possible.
