"The version of Plone installed on the remote host is prior to 3.3.6. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting
(XSS) vulnerability, in PortalTransforms 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. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20100612) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
