The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200508-21 (phpWebSite: Arbitrary command execution through XML-RPC and SQL injection)

phpWebSite uses an XML-RPC library that improperly handles XML-RPC     requests and responses with malformed nested tags. Furthermore,     'matrix_killer' reported that phpWebSite is vulnerable to a SQL     injection attack.

Impact :

A malicious remote user could exploit this vulnerability to inject     arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially     crafted XML document, and also inject SQL commands to access the     underlying database directly.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
