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/5434/info A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Apache versions 2.0.39 and earlier on non-Unix platforms (potentially including Apache compiled with CYGWIN). Platforms that may be affected by this include Windows, OS2, and Netware. The issue is related to the failure to properly process the backslash '\' character, which may be used as a directory delimiter under these platforms. By using the URL encoded sequence '%2e%2e%5c', the web root may be escaped. Exploitation may result in the disclosure of sensitive information. Additionally, arbitrary local programs may be executed with attacker supplied parameters if directory traversal techniques are used to escape the cgi-bin directory. http://127.0.0.1/error/%5c%2e%2e%5c%2e%2e%5c%2e%2e%5c%2e%2e%5cwinnt%5cwin.ini http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/%5c%2e%2e%5cbin%5cwintty.exe?%2dt+HELLO
