Bug vulnerability classConfiguration
Bug descriptionThe remote host is running PostNuke, a web content manager written in PHP. See http://www.postnuke.com for more information.
Bug solutionThe server should be deactivated or de-installed if not necessary. To make it harder to find the server the daemon could be configured to listen at another port (e.g. 8081). Try to prevent unwanted connection attempts by filtering traffic with firewalling. Alternation of the application banner can confuse an attacker and let him determine the wrong software.
