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.

Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express may execute arbitrary programs through objects embedded in HTML email messages. When an email message or newsgroup message is viewed using Outlook, a temporary object is created in the Internet Explorer cache. The security zone of this cache should be set by Internet Explorer and is set to the Internet Zone by default.
It is possible to have an object embedded in an HTML message reference an executable file using a CODEBASE reference and non-zero CLASSID value. It may also be possible for an attacker to place a file in a known temporary folder and have it executed through this method.
An issue similar to this was reported for Internet Explorer (BID 3867). It appears that the issue was fixed for objects viewed in a web page through Internet Explorer, but not through HTML email viewed with Outlook or Outlook Express.
