Authenticated scans, on the other hand, are conducted with administrative credentials.
This allows the scanning tool to provide much more comprehensive information about potential vulnerabilities, including those that may not be easily exploitable.

Vulnerability scans are also performed by attackers who scour the Internet to find entry points into systems and networks.

Penetration testers will also consider your environment (a significant factor in determining vulnerabilities’ true severity) and upgrade or downgrade the score as appropriate.
A scan can detect something that is vulnerability, but it cannot be actively exploited, because of the way it is incorporated into our system.

This makes the vulnerability a low priority one, because why fix something that presents no danger to you.
If an issue comes up in penetration testing then that means that this issue is exploitable, and probably a high priority - in the penetation testers managed to exploit it, so will the hackers.
