According to its self-reported version number, the version of Symantec Messaging Gateway running on the remote host is 10.x less than 10.5.2, and is therefore affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.
A cross-site scripting flaw exists in the ‘brightmail/setting/compliance/DlpConnectFlow$view.flo’ within the management console. The flaw could allow a context-dependent attacker, with a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code within the browser and server trust relationship.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
