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/29112/info Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a weakness that can facilitate cross-site scripting attacks. The issue occurs because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input when handling UTF-7 charset data received in HTTP responses. Attackers can leverage this weakness to aid in cross-site scripting attacks against unsuspecting users of the application. Reports indicate that all versions of Internet Explorer are affected. Other browsers may also be affected under certain configurations, but this has not been confirmed.
