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/2203/info A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 which is exploitable through Internet Explorer and Java. Skins are downloadable files which change the appearance of a program's user interface. Skins for Windows Media Player are installed to a known location: "C:/Program files/Windows Media Player/Skins/skin.wmz". As a result, a remote HTML document, visited by the victim user, can lead the user's browser to download an arbitrary file matching the the name 'skin.wmz' to this known location. A malicious remote user could exploit this to upload a file containing executable java code disguised as a Windows Media Player skin file. An applet tag in the remote HTML document can then execute the 'skin.wmz' file as Java code. Properly exploited, this could provide an attacker with complete control of the vulnerable system. On multiuser Windows NT or 2000 systems, this vulnerability can only provide the attacker with access to the system that is within the security context of the user who was exploited. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> Windows Media Player 7 and IE java vulnerability - executing arbitrary programs </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H3> Windows Media Player 7 and IE java vulnerability - executing arbitrary programs </H3> <BR> <p>Legal Notice: <br>This Advisory and Demonstration is Copyright (c) 2000 Georgi Guninski.
