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.

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 5.0 for Windows 2000/Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows NT 4/Internet Explorer 4.0.1 for Windows 98/Windows NT 4.0 hhopen OLE Control Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/669/info
There is a buffer overflow in the 1.0.0.1 version of the hhopen OLE control (hhopen.ocx) that ships with some versions of Internet Explorer. This control is marked 'Safe for Scripting' . Arbitrary commands may be executed if the OLE control is run in a malicious manner.
HHOPEN:
This control is a little more difficult to exploit, as the
RET address is in the middle of the string, and once again
there is no easy way to RET to our code, so I have RET'd to
ExitProcess directly instead. In this case, OpenHelp is the
vulnerable method, and the exploit is possible when the
method is called with a valid help file, and a long Help
Section.
