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/3942/info To enable desktop skinning, Microsoft Windows XP uses '.manifest' files ('<filename>.exe.manifest'). This file contains XML code that tells Windows XP to use the XP controls. Due to a flaw, Windows XP fails to properly verify the XML code within a '.manifest' file. If XML code is modified, the associated application will not start, causing a denial of service. This issue could pose a more serious threat if the XML code associated with 'explorer.exe' is modified. If the 'explorer.exe.manifest' file is modified, then when the computer restarts, the system will hang and 'explorer.exe' will not load, causing a denial of service. Reportedly, the repair function will not resolve this issue. https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/21240.zip
