cross-site scripting (XSS) and open redirect vulnerability exists in 'Products.ATContentTypes'. An unauthenticated,
remote attacker can get a compromised version of the image_view_fullscreen page in a cache. The technique is known as
cache poisoning. Any later visitor can get redirected when clicking on a link on this page.

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 (PloneHotfix20220128) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only
reports when running in Paranoid mode.");
