Collapse   Vulnerability 90027High Risk Ports OpenCollapse  1 SystemHigh Risk
DescriptionThe following high risk ports are open:
[For specific url or description click server link below.]
It is generally not recommended to expose these ports to the internet as they may be used as attack vectors. If access to these services from remote sites is required, tunnelling or a VPN would be recommended instead of exposing these ports.

Note: Even if the ports are immediately closed after being opened, this is still a security risk as packets are reaching the destination host. It is recommended to completely drop packets from untrusted sources instead. 

SolutionEnsure that the ports are filtered by your router or firewall or close the ports on the affected systems. 
CategoryHosting or infrastructure flaw.

Collapse   Vulnerability 90139Script Allows Arbitrary Command ExecutionCollapse  1 SystemHigh Risk
DescriptionOne or more scripts on this host appear to execute commands which can be manipulated by remote users. This flaw may allow arbitrary commands to be executed with the same privileges as the web server. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to compromise the system. Under some circumstances it may be possible for attacker to elevate the privileges gained though the exploitation of local system flaws. An example that demonstrates this is:
[For specific url or description click server link below.]
This is simply an example that illustrates the problem, you should fix the underlying issue rather than attempting to prevent this exploit from working. 
SolutionRecode the web application to ensure that unsanitised user supplied input is never included in executable statements. 
CategoryApplication or content flaw.
CVE ReferenceCVE-MAP-NOMATCHCVSS2 7.5 (High) (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)

Collapse   Vulnerability 11139Script Appears Vulnerable to SQL InjectionCollapse  1 SystemHigh Risk
DescriptionOne or more scripts on this host appear vulnerable to an SQL injection attack. By requesting the page with parameters containing particular SQL commands, it is possible to force a database level error or otherwise demonstrate that the database is executing user supplied code. This implies that the parameter is being passed to the database without proper input validation. A maliciously crafted parameter could modify the contents of the database, damage it, extract hidden information, allow an attacker to login without a password or allow execution of arbitrary system commands, depending on the type of database. The issue can be demonstrated as follows:
[For specific url or description click server link below.]

This is simply an example that illustrates the problem, you should fix the underlying injection issue rather than attempting to prevent this exploit from working.

Note: Users of Microsoft Internet Explorer may need to disable the 'Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages' option in the Advanced tab of the options dialog in order to see the example properly. 

SolutionUse bound parameters (also known as parameterised commands) and improve input validation in the web application source code. 
CategoryApplication or content flaw.

Collapse   Vulnerability 90072Script Allows Arbitrary RedirectionCollapse  1 SystemMedium Risk
DescriptionIt is possible to craft a URL which appears to be located on this site, but will redirect users to an arbitrary location. This site could then pose as the legitimate site and prompt users to provide sensitive information. It could also contain any other type of malicious content. The following is an example of a URL which will redirect you to another site:

Collapse   Vulnerability 90111Service Permits Unauthenticated Users to Send Arbitrary EmailsCollapse  1 SystemMedium Risk
DescriptionA service on the remote host appears to allow unauthenticated users to send emails containing arbitrary content. This service might be exploited by a remote attacker to conceal their identity whilst performing activities such as spamming, phishing and fraud.
The issue can be demonstrated as follows:
[For specific url or description click server link below.]

Note:This vulnerability may be a false positive as we do not attempt to send arbitrary messages in order to avoid the possibility of crashing the service. 
SolutionRestrict the service to authenticated users, restrict the allowed recipient email addresses or prevent users from controlling the email's content. Implementing a captcha mechanism could help prevent the attacker from automating their activities. 
CategoryApplication or content flaw.

Collapse   Vulnerability 90091XPath InjectionCollapse  1 SystemMedium Risk
DescriptionOne or more scripts on this host appear vulnerable to XPath injection attacks. By requesting a page with parameters containing particular XPath elements, it is possible to force an XPath error or otherwise demonstrate that the user supplied code is being interpreted as XPath statements. This implies that a parameter is being passed to an XPath interpreter without proper input validation. A maliciously crafted parameter might be able to extract hidden information, bypass login requirements or even perform code execution depending on the XPath parser used. The issue can be demonstrated as follows:
[For specific url or description click server link below.]

This is simply an example that illustrates the problem, you should fix the underlying injection issue rather than attempting to prevent this exploit from working. 

SolutionPerform input validation within the web application and utilise query parameterisation where supported by the XPath parser. 
CategoryApplication or content flaw.

Collapse   Vulnerability 90001Holes Detected in Firewall ConfigurationCollapse  1 SystemLow Risk
DescriptionThis system is protected by a firewall which blocks access to TCP ports in inconsistent ways. Incoming TCP connections to most ports are simply dropped, however some ports were discovered where the connection is actively refused, for example with a TCP RST. This often indicates a firewall configuration error, and commonly occurs when the configuration has not been altered in line with changing system configuration behind the firewall. For example when a service such as a mail server is removed, but the corresponding firewall rule is not.

The TCP ports which actively refuse connections are: [For specific url or description click server link below.] 

SolutionReconfigure your firewall to completely drop all connections on ports that you are not running services on. 
CategoryHosting or infrastructure flaw.
