Bug vulnerability classCross Site Scripting
Bug descriptionThe remote host seems to be running OpenCA, an open Certificate Authority. The software version prior 0.9.2-RC6 may allow a remote attacker to inject HTML to a vulnerable system. This issue exists due to a lack if sanitization of user-supplied data.
Bug solutionThe server should be deactivated or de-installed if not necessary. If this is not possible, you should patch or upgrade the software to the latest version (http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/11113/solution/). To make it harder to find the server the HTTP 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.
