"The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 3.3.x prior to 4.3.10, 5.0.x prior to 5.0.5. It is, therefore,
affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Plone does not have security declarations for Dexterity content-related WebDAV requests, which allows
    remote attackers to gain webdav access via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2016-4041)

  - Plone allows remote attackers to obtain information about the ID of sensitive content via unspecified
    vectors. (CVE-2016-4042)

  - Chameleon (five.pt) in Plone allows remote authenticated users to bypass Restricted Python by leveraging
    permissions to create or edit templates. (CVE-2016-4043)

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 (PloneHotfix20160419) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
