"The version of Piwik running on the remote web host is prior to
version 2.16.1-rc1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :
- An unspecified flaw exists that may allow an attacker to
have a critical impact. No further details are
available.
- Multiple unspecified cross-site scripting (XSS)
vulnerabilities exist due to a failure to properly
validate input before returning it to users. An
unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via
a crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in
a user's browser session.");
