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 problem with Microsoft Internet Explorer may make it possible to deny service to users of the browser. The problem is in the handling of certain types of stylesheet input.
It may be possible to crash IE. When IE encounters a style sheet with the p{cssText} element declared, and a font weight of bold is specified, the browser crashes. This could be used as a denial of service attack.
<style>p{cssText: font-weight: bold;}</style>
