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/19249/info VMware ESX is prone to multiple information-disclosure vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a design error in the application. The following issues were reported: 1. An information disclosure vulnerability that could disclose the session ID, username, and password if an attacker can access session cookies used by the management interface. 2. An information disclosure vulnerability that could expose authentication credentials to local users on the computer hosting the VMWare ESX Server. This vulnerability occurs because authentication credentials are also handled insecurely by the VMWare ESX management interface. VMware ESX server versions 2.5.3 P2, 2.1.3 P1, 2.0.2, 2.0.2 P1, and 2.5.2 P4 are reported to be vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. https://www.example.com/sx-users?op=setUsr&ag=&rg=&nm=root&hd=%2Froot&pw=test&pwc=test&grpSlct=
