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.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 32690

Publication date : 2008-12-28 23h00 +00:00
Author : Paul Szabo
EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/33060/info The 'xterm' program is prone to a remote command-execution vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently validate user input. Successfully exploiting this issue would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on an affected computer in the context of the affected application. The issue affects xterm with patch 237; other versions may also be affected. The following example is available: perl -e 'print "\eP\$q\nwhoami\n\e\\"' > bla.log cat bla.log
