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/189/info Web-based administration for IIS 4.0 is, by default, limited to the local loopback address, 127.0.0.1. In instances where IIS4.0 was installed as an upgrade to IIS 2.0 or 3.0, a legacy ISAPI DLL (ISM.DLL) is left in the /scripts/iisadmin directory. An attacker may call this DLL via the following syntax: http://www.server.com/scripts/iisadmin/ism.dll?http/dir This URL prompts the user for a username/password to access the remote administration console. Although approved access does not permit the user to commit changes to the IIS server, it may allow them to gather sensitive information about the web server and its configuration.
