<plugin_comment>The server is usually bound to the official address (e.g. 192.168.0.11) and not the loopback address (127.0.0.1). This may affect localhost audits. The pattern is highly accurate but and may also detect newer and slightly modified BSE server versions.</plugin_comment>

<bug_description>The remote system is running the Pinnacle ShowCenter. This is a straming server that comes with a web GUI that is provided with a HTTP server named BSE. An attacker may use this information to start further enumeration or dedicated attacks.</bug_description>
<bug_solution>Upgrade the affected software. The 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.</bug_solution>
