"The remote host is running Netquery, a suite of network information
utilities written in PHP. 

The version of Netquery on the remote host suffers from multiple 
flaws :

  - Remote Code Execution
    An attacker can execute arbitrary commands through the
    Ping panel of the 'nquser.php' script provided it's 
    enabled.

  - Information Disclosure
    An attacker can retrieve the log of Netquery activity 
    with a simple GET request.

  - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Flaws
    The application fails to sanitize user-supplied input
    to several scripts before using it in dynamically-
    generated pages, which allows for cross-site scripting 
    attacks.");
