the remote host is either 11.x prior to 11.0 RU7-MP4a or 12.x prior to
12.1 RU4a.  It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - SEPM is affected by an XML external entity injection
    vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize
    user-supplied input. A remote, unauthenticated attacker
    could potentially exploit this vulnerability to read
    arbitrary files. (CVE-2013-5014)

  - SEPM is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability due to
    a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input. A
    locally authenticated user could potentially exploit
    this vulnerability to execute arbitrary SQL commands
    against the back-end database. (CVE-2013-5015)"
