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/27358/info BitDefender Update Server is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data. Exploiting this issue allows an attacker to access potentially sensitive information that could aid in further attacks. BitDefender Security for File Servers, BitDefender Enterprise Manger, and other BitDefender products that include the Update Server are vulnerable. This issue affects Update Server when running on Windows; Linux and UNIX variants may also be affected. echo -e "GET /../../boot.ini HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc <server> <port>
