Internet Explorer 5.5 does not display the Class ID (CLSID) when it is at the end of the file name, which could allow attackers to trick the user into executing dangerous programs by making it appear that the document is of a safe file type.

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/2612/info The default operation performed to open a filetype is determining by referencing the filetype's CLSID. Due to a flaw in the interpretation of CLSIDs when appended to a filename, it is possible to specify a different default action for a given file than would normally be used. As a result, seemingly harmless files (.txt, .jpg etc) may be opened in a nonstandard, attacker specified manner. For example, a program ("evil.exe") could be renamed "evil.jpg.{CLSID_of_executables}" and when opened by the target user, this file will be executed instead of opened by their default .jpg viewer. https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/20774.zip
