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.

The to_s method in actionpack/lib/action_dispatch/middleware/remote_ip.rb in Ruby on Rails 3.0.5 does not validate the X-Forwarded-For header in requests from IP addresses on a Class C network, which might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary text into log files or bypass intended address parsing via a crafted header.
Improper Input Validation The product receives input or data, but it does
not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the
properties that are required to process the data safely and
correctly.

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.

Ruby on Rails is prone to a vulnerability that allows attackers to inject arbitrary content into the 'X-Forwarded-For', 'X-Forwarded-Host' and 'X-Forwarded-Server' HTTP headers because the 'WEBrick::HTTPRequest' module fails to sufficiently sanitize input.
By inserting arbitrary data into the affected HTTP header field, attackers may be able to launch cross-site request-forgery, cross-site scripting, HTML-injection, and other attacks.
NOTE: This issue only affects requests sent from clients on the same subnet as the server.
Ruby on Rails 3.0.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
#Encoding: UTF-8
#
# Log-File-Injection - Ruby on Rails 3.05
# possibilities:
# - possible date back attacks (tried with request-log-analyzer: worked but teaser_check_warnings)
# - ip spoofing
# - binary log-injections
# - DOS if ip is used with an iptables-ban-script
#
# !! works only on intranet apps !!
#
# Fix:
# validate request.remote_ip until they fix it
