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 flaw in the CGIServlet in Jetty allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server. Specifically, it is possible for an attacker to use directory traversal sequences and cause the CGIServlet to execute attacker-specified commands (such as running executables on the host).
This vulnerability affects Jetty versions for Microsoft Windows prior to 4.1.0.
