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/32669/info TWiki is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. An HTML form field must exist containing an input value with specifying an encoding. As an example: <input type="text" name="city" value="%URLPARAM{ "city" }%" /> THe following examples will then demonstrate this issue: http://example.com/twiki/view/TWiki/WebSearch?search=%27a%20onmouseover=alert(document.cookie)%20%27 http://example.com/twiki/view/TWiki/ResetPassword?username="<script language=Javascript>alert('3y3 0wn j00 TWIKI')</script>
