Anonymous FTP access as well. Under this arrangement, users do not strictly need an account on the

users are commonly asked to send their email address as their password, little to no verification
is actually performed on the supplied data.
Remark: NIST don't see 'configuration issues' as software flaws so the referenced CVE has a
severity of 0.0. The severity of this VT has been raised by Greenbone to still report a
configuration issue on the target.");
