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.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 19594

Publication date : 1999-11-03 23h00 +00:00
Author : Marc of eEye
EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/769/info The spooler service (spoolss.exe) allows local users to add their own dll files and have the spooler run them at SYSTEM level. This could lead to privilege escalation all the way up to Administrator level. The problem is in the function AddPrintProvider(). This exploit will crash the spooler service and copy a custom dll into c:\winnt\system32. When the spooler service is restarted, the custom dll is loaded and run at SYTEM level. The 'whoami' binary is run and the results logged in a text file for verification. If the target machine's NT directory is not the default c:\winnt, the program will have to be modified. https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/19594.zip
