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.

plugins/system/highlight/highlight.php in Joomla! 3.0.x through 3.0.2 and 2.5.x through 2.5.8 allows attackers to unserialize arbitrary PHP objects to obtain sensitive information, delete arbitrary directories, conduct SQL injection attacks, and possibly have other impacts via the highlight parameter. Note: it was originally reported that this issue only allowed attackers to obtain sensitive information, but later analysis demonstrated that other attacks exist.

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.

Joomla! <= 3.0.2 (highlight.php) PHP Object Injection Vulnerability
-------------------------------------------------------------------
[-] Software Link:
http://www.joomla.org/
[-] Affected Versions:
Version 3.0.2 and earlier 3.0.x versions.
Version 2.5.8 and earlier 2.5.x versions.
[-] Vulnerability Description:
The vulnerable code is located in /plugins/system/highlight/highlight.php:
56. // Get the terms to highlight from the request.
57. $terms = $input->request->get('highlight', null, 'base64');
58. $terms = $terms ? unserialize(base64_decode($terms)) : null;
User input passed through the "highlight" parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in
an unserialize() call at line 58. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary PHP objects into the
application scope. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability doesn't require authentication,
but requires the "System Highlight" plugin to be enabled (such as by default configuration).
[-] Solution:
Upgrade to version 3.0.3 or 2.5.9.
[-] Disclosure Timeline:
[31/10/2012] - Vendor notified
