EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/713/info The PHP/FI package which was originally written by Rasmus Lerdorf is an is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly. Since its inception, PHP/FI has been turned over to another development team and is now known only as PHP. Certain versions of PHP/FI shipped with two flawed example script for logging examples. These scripts were mylog.html & mlog.html. in both mlog.html and mylog.html. The idea is to include a file for each type of logging stats, however, there is no escaping of slashes, so one can specify any file on the system. The problem lies in the line: <?include "$screen"> By exploiting this problem users can view any file on the system which the http daemon user id has access to. http://some.stupid.isp.net/~dumbuser/cool-logs/mlog.html?screen=[fully qualified path to any file on the system]
