"The remote host appears to be running PostNuke version 0.760 RC4b or
older.  These versions suffer from several vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
    An attacker can inject arbitrary HTML and script 
    code into the browser of users by manipulating
    input to the 'moderate' parameter of the 
    'Comments' module and the 'htmltext' parameter
    of the 'user.php' script.

  - A SQL Injection Vulnerability
    The application fails to launder user-supplied
    input to the 'show' parameter in the
    'modules/Downloads/dl-viewdownload.php' module.
    With admin rights, an attacker could exploit 
    this issue to manipulate SQL queries." );
