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.

IMail is a commercial email server software package distributed and maintained by Ipswitch, Incorporated. IMail is available for Microsoft Operating Systems.
The web messaging server is vulnerable to a buffer overflow. When the server receives a request for HTTP version 1.0, and the total request is 96 bytes or greater, a buffer overflow occurs. This could result in the execution of attacker-supplied instructions, and potentially allow an attacker to gain local access.
** Ipswitch has reported they are unable to reproduce this issue. In addition, Ipswitch has stated that the supplied, third party patch may in fact open additional vulnerabilities in the product. Ipswitch suggests that users do not apply the supplied patch.

IPSwitch IMail 7.11 remote 'SYSTEM' exploit
there is an overflow in the GET parameter under the HTTP/1.0
specification in the Web Messaging daemon in all IMail versions
to date
<96 bytes><EBP><EIP>
since none of the registers point to our payload on ret some
trickery was necessary to hit our payload in a dynamic way,
but nothing difficult..
execution flow:
eip overran, ret (esp-4) -> land at pop ebx, ret10 (esp-18) -> call esp
reach corrupted payload
preserve esp -> sub esp -> jmp esp
preserve esp, and jump to good payload
recover esp -> execute shell
let shit fly
"In 1995, Ipswitch released IMail Server, the first commercial NT Mail Server.
Seven years later there are over 49 million users of IMail worldwide.
IMail Server 7.1
Greater security, improved usability, and new revenue opportunities for service
providers."
