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.

X-Cart Arbitrary Variable Overwrite
Vendor: Qualiteam
Product: X-Cart
Version: <= 4.1.3
Website: http://www.x-cart.com/
BID: 20108
CVE: CVE-2006-4904
OSVDB: 28957
SECUNIA: 22005
Description:
X-Cart is a commercial web based eCommerce solution written in PHP and MySQL that allows for webmasters to host an online marketplace. Unfortunately an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary php code on an X-Cart installation by overwriting key configuration variables. However, because the vulnerability allows for any variables to be overwritten other attacks such as SQL Injection are probably possible as well. Qualiteam have released an updated version of their X-Cart software, and users are strongly encouraged to upgrade as soon as possible or delete the cmpi.php script that resides within the payments directory.
Arbitrary Variable Overwriting
X-Cart comes with a number of payment processing scripts. Unfortunately the Cardinal payment processing script (cmpi.php) is vulnerable to arbitrary variable overwriting that allows for an attacker to conduct various attacks including arbitrary php code execution. Let's have a look at the vulnerable code in question.
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS) {
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $var => $value) {
$$var = $value;
}
}
