multiple vulnerabilities." );

"According to its banner, the version of Invision Power Board on the 
remote host suffers from a privilege escalation issue.  To carry out 
an attack, an authenticated user goes to delete his own group and 
moves users from that group into the root admin group.

In addition to this, the remote version of this software is prone to a
SQL injection attack that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary
SQL statements against the remote database. 

**** If you're using Invision Power Board version 2.0.4, this may 
**** be a false positive as the fix does not update the version
**** number." );
