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.

The Cascading Style-Sheets (CSS) interpreter for Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to an issue which may allow an attacker to read the contents of files on a web user's system.
It is possible to use the cssText property of the styleSheet to read portions of files that exist on an arbitrary web user's system. Successful exploitation will cause the CSS interpreter used by Internet Explorer to read portions of text if the targetted file contains a "{" character.
An attacker may exploit this via a malicious webpage to disclose sensitive information contained in (almost) arbitrary files that exist on a web user's system.
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-023 includes patches for this vulnerability. There have been reports that the Microsoft patches do not completely address this issue. A HTTP redirect may be used in a malicious webpage to exploit this vulnerability on some patched systems.
This example attempts to read content from "c:/test.txt":
<link id="oFile" rel="stylesheet" href="file://c:/test.txt" disabled>
<script language="jscript">
onload=function () {
alert(document.styleSheets.oFile.cssText || "Could not extract any text
from file.");
}
</script>
