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.

Microsoft IIS 5.0 ships with a sample script that may be used to view the source code of other scripts in the sample scripts (/IISSAMPLES) directory. However, this script (CodeBrws.asp) does not adequately filter unicode representations of directory traversals. For example, an attacker can break out of the sample script directory by substituting '%c0%ae%c0%ae' for '..' in a dot-dot-slash directory traversal attack.
It has been demonstrated that this issue may be exploited to map out the directory structure of the filesystem on a host running the vulnerable script.

The following example was also provided to demonstrate that the directory structure may be mapped out using this vulnerability:
