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.

Opera Web Browser is prone to a security weakness that may permit malicious web pages to spoof address bar information. This issue is due to a race condition error.
This issue may be leveraged by an attacker to display false information in the address bar of an unsuspecting user, allowing an attacker to present web pages to users that seem to be derived from a trusted location. This may facilitate phishing attacks; attempted theft of user information for the purpose of identity theft.
