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.

PostgreSQL is a free RDBMS that is released under a Berkeley style license. PostgreSQL stores passwords for database users in a binary file called pg_shadow. This file is readable by root and the postgres user. Unfortunately, these passwords are stored in cleartext form and can be obtained if a user with read access to the file runs strings on it. While this is only readable by root and the postgres user (by default), it allows either one (or whoever else has read access to the file) to get the passwords for all databases and bypass authentication completely.
