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/2250/info PHP/FI is an software suite designed to offer enhanced features to sites served via the World Wide Web. It is open source, freely available, and maintained by the PHP development team. A problem with the software could allow remote users access to restricted resources. Due to a design problem in the software package, the PHP/FI software package allows a remote user to browse directories and view files stored on the local host. It is possible to view only those files which the UID of the local httpd process has access to read. A user with malicious intent could use this vulnerability to gather information on the local host, and possibly gain remote access to encrypted user passwords on a system not using the shadow password suite. http://www.someurl.com/php.cgi?/path/to/file
