"The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 2.5.x prior to 2.5.5 or 3.0.x prior to 3.0.3. It is, therefore,
affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in the statusmessages and linkintegrity modules. A unauthenticated,
remote attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary Python code. 

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 (PloneHotfix20071106) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
