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/2023/info
Some web servers that allow batch files to be executed via CGI are vulnerable to an attack whereby an intruder can execute commands on the target machine. This can be accomplished by submitting the command to be executed as a variable preceded by the ampersand (&) symbol, eg. http://targethost/cgi-bin/batfile.bat?&hostile_command. This apparently causes the server to call the function: system("batfile.bat &hostile_command") which the command interpreter interprets as separate commands. Microsoft IIS 1.0 is vulnerable to this attack whether or not the .BAT file requested even exists. Successfully exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute commands on the target machine with the privileges of the web server. This vulnerability may also be exploited via . CMD files.
A request similar to the following is used to exploit this:
http://targethost/cgi-bin/test.bat?&dir
Variations may be possible or necessary, depending on the specific web server and configuration.
