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/11025/info Reportedly GNU a2ps is affected by a filename command-execution vulnerability. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly sanitize filenames. An attacker might leverage this issue to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of an unsuspecting user running the vulnerable application. Although this issue reportedly affects only a2ps version 4.13, other versions are likely affected as well. $ touch 'x`echo >&2 42`.c' $ a2ps -o /dev/null *.c 42 [x`echo >&2 42`.c (C): 0 pages on 0 sheets] [Total: 0 pages on 0 sheets] saved into the file `/dev/null'
