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.

Netscape Enterprise Server for NetWare 4/5 3.0.7 a,Novell Groupwise 5.2/5.5 GWWEB.EXE Multiple Vulnerabilities source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/879/info The HELP function in GWWEB.EXE will reveal the path of the server, and combined with the '../' string, allow read access for any client to any .htm file on the server, as well as browseable directory listings. Also, it is possible to abend GWINTER.NLM by specifying a long string where the server expects a variable setting. Requesting the following URL from the GroupWise server http ://victimhost/cgi-bin/GW5/GWWEB.EXE?HELP=asdf will return the error message: Could not read file SYS:WEB\CGI-BIN\GW5\US\HTML3\HELP\ASDF.HTM revealing the full path of the GroupWise server software. Note: The URL above may need to be tailored to the target system. To read .htm files anywhere on the server, or to browse directories, use HELP and the ../ string to traverse directories, for example: http ://victimhost/cgi-bin/GW5/GWWEB.EXE?HELP=../../../secret.htm or http ://victimhost/cgi-bin/GW5/GWWEB.EXE?HELP=../../../ Again, the paths shown above may need to be modified. To abend GWINTER.NLM request a URL like: http ://victimhost/cgi-bin/GW5/GWWEB.EXE?[512+ chars] It may be possible to remotely execute arbitrary code via this buffer overflow.
