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.

Windows Media Player is an application used for digital audio, and video content viewing. It can be embedded in webpages as an ActiveX control.
It is possible to execute a javascript URL from within the Windows Media Player ActiveX control embedded in HTML. This javascript can be executed in arbitrary "already open" frames, specified within the ActiveX control. By doing this, an attacker can take over the frame's DOM (document object model), bypassing security restrictions. This would be accomplished through a special webpage and having the victim visit the webpage.
An attacker exploiting this vulnerability can read files on the users filesystem and reportedly execute arbitrary programs on the victim host.
