command execution.

Description :

The remote host appears to be running a version of BasiliX between
1.0.2beta or 1.0.3beta.  In such versions, the script 'login.php3'
fails to sanitize user input, which enables a remote attacker to pass
in a specially crafted value for the parameter 'username' with
arbitrary commands to be executed on the target using the permissions
of the web server.";
