The remote host is running CGIWrap, a wrapper for CGI scripts to provide enhanced security.
The version of CGIWrap installed on the remote host does not specify a charset when responses are for error pages. An attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user’s browser to be executed whithin the security context of the affected site. This only affects some browsers like Internet Explorer.
