"The version of Plone installed on the remote host is prior to 3.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting
(XSS) vulnerability in the LiveSearch module due to improper validation of user-supplied input before returning it to
users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to click a specially crafted URL, to
execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
