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.

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in Classes/Controller/AbstractController.php in the workspaces system extension in TYPO3 4.5.x before 4.5.9, 4.6.x before 4.6.2, and development versions of 4.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the BACK_PATH parameter.
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.
# Exploit Title: Typo3 v4.5-4.7 - Remote Code Execution (RFI/LFI)
# Date: 4th January 2012
# Author: MaXe
# Software Link: https://typo3.org/download/
# Version: 4.5.0 up to 4.5.8, 4.6.0 and 4.6.1 (+ development releases of
4.7 branch)
Typo3 v4.5-4.7 - Remote Code Execution (RFI/LFI)
Versions Affected: 4.5.0 up to 4.5.8, 4.6.0 and 4.6.1 (+ development
releases of 4.7 branch)
Info:
TYPO3 is a small to midsize enterprise-class Content Management Framework
offering
the best of both worlds: out-of-the-box operation with a complete set of
standard
modules and a clean and sturdy high-performance architecture accomodating
virtually
every kind of custom solution or extension.

the issue and the Security Team member Helmut Hummel for providing the
patch.
(This advisory was rewritten by MaXe @InterN0T to offer a quick overview
of the vulnerability, including the removal of all irrelevant and untrue
details.
-:: The Advisory ::-
Requirements for any RCE:
- register_globals in the php.ini MUST be enabled (if the exploit fails
against a supposed to be vulnerable version, this is why. This setting is
often disabled by default.)
Requirements for RFI:
- allow_url_include has to be enabled (It's often "off" by default.)
Proof of Concept:
By browsing to a script / page, that uses the following file:
typo3/sysext/workspaces/Classes/Controller/AbstractController.php (direct
access may not be allowed)
It is possible to include PHP code to be executed via the "BACK_PATH"
global variable. This can be accessed in ways like:
AbstractController.php?BACK_PATH=LFI/RFI%00
The vulnerable piece of code: require_once($GLOBALS['BACK_PATH'] .
'template.php');
Demonstrates, that it is necessary to append a null-byte ( %00 ) after the
maliciously crafted input / URL. (Unless your remote file if applicable, is
named something.template.php)
-:: Solution ::-
* Update to the latest version of Typo3 OR change the vulnerable piece of
code to: require_once(PATH_site . TYPO3_mainDir . 'template.php');
