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.

Apple Safari before 5.1.1 on Mac OS X does not enforce an intended policy for file: URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site.
Category : Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.

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' => "Apple Safari file:// Arbitrary Code Execution",
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits a vulnerability found in Apple Safari on OSX platform.
A policy issue in the handling of file:// URLs may allow arbitrary remote code
execution under the context of the user.
In order to trigger arbitrary remote code execution, the best way seems to
be opening a share on the victim machine first (this can be SMB/WebDav/FTP, or
a fileformat that OSX might automount), and then execute it in /Volumes/[share].
If there's some kind of bug that leaks the victim machine's current username,
then it's also possible to execute the payload in /Users/[username]/Downloads/,
or else bruteforce your way to getting that information.
Please note that non-java payloads (*.sh extension) might get launched by
Xcode instead of executing it, in that case please try the Java ones instead.

Certain executables cannot be executed due to permission issues. A jar file doesn't have this
problem, but we still get a "Are you sure?" warning before it can be executed.
