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/2637/info Due to a flaw in Navigator's security code, all URLs in the about: protocol are considered to be part of the same domain. If arbitrary Javascript code is placed in a GIF's comment field, it is treated like a normal HTML page. The Javascript code will run from the image information page in the internal about: 'domain'.
