"The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 2.0.x prior to 2.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by an insecure
access control due to not restricting access to the changeMemberPortrait, deletePersonalPortrait, and testCurrentPassword
methods. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to modify portraits.

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