The remote host is running Exponent, a web-based content management system implemented in PHP.
Directly requesting several different pages reveals the absolute path where Exponent is installed. A remote attacker could use this information to mount further attacks.
In addition, the installed version is likely to be affected to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, although Nessus has not checked for them.
