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/167/info A sample Active Server Page (ASP) script installed by default on Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 gives remote users access to view any file on the same volume as the web server that is readable by the web server. IIS 4.0 installs a number of sample ASP scripts including one called "showcode.asp". This script allows clients to view the source of other sample scripts via a browser. The "showcode.asp" script does not perform sufficent checks and allows files outside the sample directory to be requested. In particular, it does not check for ".." in the path of the requested file. The script takes one parameter, "source", which is the file to view. The script's default location URL is: http://www.sitename.com/msadc/Samples/SELECTOR/showcode.asp Similar vulnerabilities have been noted in ViewCode.asp, CodeBrws.asp and Winmsdp.exe. http://www.sitename.com/msadc/Samples/SELECTOR/showcode.asp?source=/msadc/Samples/../../../../../boot.ini Using CodeBrws.asp, it is possible to view Outlook mail folders: http://some-sitename-here/iissamples/exair/howitworks/codebrws.asp?source=/../../winnt/Profiles/Administrator/Application%20Data/Microsoft/Outlook%20Express/Mail/inbox.mbx
