The remote host runs YaCy, a peer-to-peer distributed web search engine and caching web proxy.
The remote version of this software is vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting due to a lack of sanitization of user-supplied data.
Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to use the remote server to perform an attack against a third-party user.
