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.

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Caching Proxy component bundled with the IBM Websphere Edge Server.
Due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input it is possible for an attacker to construct a malicious link which contains arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in the header of the website visited by the victim.
Attacks of this nature may make it possible for attackers to steal cookie-based authentication credentials.
