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.

Variable overwrite vulnerability in blog.php in PHP-Update 2.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary program variables and execute arbitrary PHP code via multiple vectors that use the extract function, as demonstrated by the (1) f, (2) newmessage, (3) newusername, (4) adminuser, and (5) permission parameters.

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.

another funny extract() issue, vulnerable code in blog.php:
<?php
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
extract($HTTP_COOKIE_VARS);
...
let me say... tnx!
so, you can overwrite $adminuser and $permission arguments
and every var you wanr
we cannot use <?php or <? to initiate code, because we have
...
$newmessage = str_replace("<?", "<?", $newmessage);
...
in blog.php, however this syntax is always avaliable,
see php man page for basic syntax
also this bypass magic_quotes_gpc because of the stripslashes() on
$newmessage argument
also, note this, we have a directory traversal in "f" argument
but I prefer posts because we do not have an .htaccess in blogs/posts/ folder
"0.php" string is appended to a new post filename
