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.

Eudora uses Internet Explorer to assist in the viewing of html messages if the 'Use Microsoft Viewer' option is enabled. Eudora also has a 'allow executables in HTML content' option, which the documentation recommends be disabled for securithy reasons. It is possible for an attacker to excecute arbitrary code on a remote system even if 'allow executables in HTML content' is disabled, if the 'Use Microsoft viewer' option is enabled.
