CPE, which stands for Common Platform Enumeration, is a standardized scheme for naming hardware, software, and operating systems. CPE provides a structured naming scheme to uniquely identify and classify information technology systems, platforms, and packages based on certain attributes such as vendor, product name, version, update, edition, and language.
CWE, or Common Weakness Enumeration, is a comprehensive list and categorization of software weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It serves as a common language for describing software security weaknesses in architecture, design, code, or implementation that can lead to vulnerabilities.
CAPEC, which stands for Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification, is a comprehensive, publicly available resource that documents common patterns of attack employed by adversaries in cyber attacks. This knowledge base aims to understand and articulate common vulnerabilities and the methods attackers use to exploit them.

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.

#SGI's Irix operating system ships with an X11 application called 'soundplayer' which is used to play .WAV files. It is not setuid root by itself, but can inherit root privileges if called by midikeys (which is setuid on some old IRIX systems). Soundplayer is vulnerable to an input validation problem. When saving a file to disk with soundplayer, if a semicolon is appended to the end of the "proper" or "real" filename input followed by a command to be executed (no spaces), the command will run with the privileges soundplayer has (elevated or not). It is possible to compromise root access locally through exploitation of this vulnerability if soundplayer is executed (then exploited..) through setuid midikeys.
