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.
Exploit information
Exploit Database EDB-ID : 19194
Publication date : 1999-02-10 23h00 +00:00
Author : Gary Geisbert
EDB Verified : Yes

The File System Object (FSO) may be called from an Active Server Page (ASP) to display files that exist outside of the web server's root directory. FSO allows calls to be made utilizing "../" to exit the local directory path.
An example of this syntax would be: http://www.server.foo/showfile.asp?file=../../global.asa
This vulnerability could be used to view the source code of ASP files or stream data into other ASP files on the web server.

' grab the file from the URL
FileName = Request.QueryString("file")
' create the filesystemobject and open the file
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set ts = fso.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(FileName))
' read the contents
ShowTheFreakinThing = ts.ReadAll
' display them
Response.Write ShowTheFreakinThing
' EOF
