Summary

The 'vpasswd.cgi' CGI is installed. Some versions do not properly check for special characters and allow a cracker to execute any command on your system. *** Warning : The scanner relied on the presence of this CGI, it did not *** determine if you specific version is vulnerable to that problem

Solution

Solution
