CVE Descriptions

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.

It is reported that Netscape Navigator is prone to a URI obfuscation weakness that may hide the true contents of a URI link. The issue occurs when an image is contained within a properly formatted HREF tag.
This weakness could be employed to trick a user into following a malicious link.
An attacker can exploit this issue by supplying a malicious image that appears to be a URI link pointing to a page designed to mimic that of a trusted site. If an unsuspecting victim is to mouseover the link in an attempt to verify the authenticity of where it references, they may be deceived into believing that the link references the actual trusted site.
