affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, to disclose
potentially sensitive information.

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 (PloneHotfix20151208) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
