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.

Netscape Communicator and Navigator 4.04 through 4.74 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files by using a Java applet to open a connection to a URL using the "file", "http", "https", and "ftp" protocols, as demonstrated by Brown Orifice.

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.

A flaw in Netscape Communicator's implementation of Java allows malicious applets to read any resource reachable via a URL from the local machine by using the netscape.net.URLConnection and netscape.net.URLInputSteam classes. This allows malicious applets to read local files as well as download data from hosts that would otherwise could be protected by a firewall.
An untrusted applet normally is no allowed to read or write to the local file system, or to open network connections to any machine other than that from which it was downloaded.. Security sensitive classes such as FileInputStream() , RandomAccessFile(), or Socket() normally check whether a class can read from a local file by calling the SecurityManager.checkRead() method or whether it connect to other hosts by calling the SecurityManager.checkConnect() method.
Netscape's netscape.net.URLConnection and netscape.net.URLInputStream classes seem to ignore or not perform these checks when passed an URLs. Thus malicious classes and read local files using URLs of the type "file://".
If the machine running the malicious applet is behind a firewall it will also be able to download resources that can be accessed via a URL, such as web server ("http://" or "https://) or FTP servers ("ftp://"), that the attacker in control of the machine from which the applet was downloaded could not. In this way a malicious applet could be used to penetrate a firewall.
