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/5723/info DB4Web is an application server that allows read and write access to relational databases and other information sources, via the web. The application is available for Windows, Linux, and various Unix platforms. A directory traversal bug exists in DB4Web. By passing a maliciously crafted query to the application, an attacker can potentially gain access to arbitrary system files. This is due to the application insufficiently validating the user supplied input. On MS Windows systems the URL to retrieve the boot.ini file would look like: http://db4web.server.system/scripts/db4web_c.exe/dbdirname/c%3A%5Cboot.ini On Linux/Unix servers the following URL will show /etc/hosts: http://db4web.server.system/cgi-bin/db4web_c/dbdirname//etc/hosts
