prior to 4.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a
    crafted URL (CVE-2011-1948)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the safe_html filter in Products.PortalTransforms allows remote
    authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-1949)

  - plone.app.users allows remote authenticated users to modify the properties of arbitrary accounts via unspecified
    vectors, as exploited in the wild in June 2011 (CVE-2011-1950)

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 (PloneHotfix20110531) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
