How to read the results
EPSS probability is the model's estimate, from 0% to 100%, that exploitation activity against the CVE is observed in the next 30 days.
Percentile is where the CVE ranks against every other scored CVE. A 95th-percentile CVE has a higher EPSS score than 95% of all scored CVEs.
Use EPSS alongside CVSS and the CISA KEV catalog. A CVE in KEV has confirmed exploitation in the wild. Prioritize it whatever its EPSS score says. A CVE with no score is usually too new for today's scoring run, reserved or rejected, or a mistyped ID.
Data from the FIRST EPSS API. Only the CVE IDs found in your text are sent, from your browser straight to FIRST's API. FixTheVuln never receives them. Scoring a whole scanner export? FIRST publishes every score as a daily CSV download, which suits large lists better than this API.
