The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the cbfc1591-c8c0-11ee-b45a-589cfc0f81b0 advisory.

  • phpMyFAQ team reports: phpMyFAQ doesn’t implement sufficient checks to avoid XSS when storing on attachments filenames. The ‘sharing FAQ’ functionality allows any unauthenticated actor to misuse the phpMyFAQ application to send arbitrary emails to a large range of targets.
    phpMyFAQ’s user removal page allows an attacker to spoof another user’s detail, and in turn make a compelling phishing case for removing another user’s account.
    (cbfc1591-c8c0-11ee-b45a-589cfc0f81b0)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
