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.
Steam (Multiple .exe's) Local Privilage Escalation
By:
MrDoug
mrdoug13[at]gmail[dot]com
Version Info:
Steam windows client
Built: Jun 30 2009, at 13:29:32
Steam API: v008
Steam Package versions: 54/894
Greetz:
Slappywag, Doomchip, Bolo, Eliwood, and the rest.
Special Thanks:
Jeremy Brown and Nine:Situations:Group...
Their work led me to this.
==================================================
The latest Steam client, (and other Steam related executables)
suffer the same privilage escelation issue we saw in Adobe Acrobat NOS
the other day (http://milw0rm.com/exploits/9199). This is particularly
bad becuase, by default, Steam starts atomaticly. That means that as
soon as an administrator logs in... game over.
==================================================
POC:
C:\>cacls "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe"
C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe BUILTIN\Users:F <-- (Danger Will Robinson!!)
BUILTIN\Power Users:C
BUILTIN\Administrators:F
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:F
The executables listed below are also vulnerable, as well as many, MANY
more that I have not mentioned. See for yourself.
%programfiles%\Steam\uninstall_css.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\Unwise32.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\GameOverlayUI.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\uninstall_steam.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\WriteMiniDump.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\bin\SteamService.exe
--The following are dependant on what games are installed.
%programfiles%\Steam\common\audiosurf\Audiosurf.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\common\audiosurf\testapp.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\common\audiosurf\engine\QuestViewer.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\common\left 4 dead\left4dead.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\steamapps\[username]\counter-strike source\hl2.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\steamapps\[username]\half-life 2\hl2.exe
%programfiles%\Steam\steamapps\[username]\garrysmod\hl2.exe
...etc...etc...etc...
There are probably 100 more, just look around. I am yet to see an
executable in the Steam directory with propor permissions.
==================================================
Exploit:
So simple... write it yourself you silly goose :3
