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/19927/info Microsoft Indexing Service is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before it is rendered to other users. An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code execute in the browser of an unsuspecting user, in the context of the victim's session. This could allow the attacker to perform actions on behalf of the victim, such as spoofing content or hijacking their session. Microsoft Indexing Service is not installed or enabled by default. Even if installed, it is not accessible from Internet Information Services (IIS). This vulnerability affects only systems that have IIS and Indexing Service installed and that have the Indexing Service configured to be accessible from IIS through a web-based interface. http://www.example.com/+ADw-SCRIPT+AD4-alert('XSS');+ADw-/SCRIPT+AD4-.htw?CiWebHitsFile=/iisstart.asp&CiRestriction='' http://www.example.com/+ADw-SCRIPT+AD4-alert('XSS');+ADw-+AC8-SCRIPT+AD4-.ida UTF-7("<") = +ADw-, +ADx-, +ADy-, +ADz- UTF-7(">") = +AD4-, +AD5-, +AD6-, +AD7- UTF-7("/") = +AC8-, +AC9-
