"The version of Plone installed on the remote host is prior to 2.5.5, 3.x prior to 3.3.6, or 4.x prior to 4.0.4. It is,
therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain
administrative access to the application.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20110720) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
