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/9827/info Microsoft Outlook is prone to a vulnerability that may permit execution of arbitrary code on client systems. This issue is exposed through Outlook, but will reportedly cause Internet Explorer to load malicious content in the Local Zone. This is related to how mailto URIs are handled by the software and may be exploited from a malicious web page or through HTML e-mail. This issue will permit a remote attacker to influence how Outlook invoked via mailto URIs, allowing for execution of malicious scripting in the Local Zone through an attacker-specified Outlook profile parameter. ** It was initially reported that exploitation of this issue will depend on the Outlook Today page being the default folder homepage. Additional details have been made available to indicate that in situations where this is not the default page, it is possible to use two mailto URIs to exploit the issue. The first URI would display the Outlook Today view and the second would include an embedded JavaScript URI. <!-- Outlook mailto: URL argument injection proof-of-concept exploit, by shaun2k2. The exploit can be easily modified to execute more malicious things. --> <html> <body> <!-- This is the exploit string. --> <img src="mailto:aa" /select javascript:alert('vulnerable')"> </body> </html>
