system implemented in PHP.

Directly requesting several different pages reveals the absolute path
where Exponent is installed.  A remote attacker could use this
information to mount further attacks.

In addition, the installed version is likely to be affected to
multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, although Nessus has not
checked for them." );
