According to its self-reported version number, the Symantec Messaging Gateway (SMG) running on the remote host is prior to 10.8. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability where an authenticated user who has the privilege to add/edit annotations on the Content tab can craft a malicious annotation that can be executed on the annotations page.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
