| Detailed Description |
A version of Movable Type which is older than version 4.361 / 5.051 / 5.11 is detected as installed on the host. Movable Type is a weblog publishing software written in Perl. The version of Movable Type running on the remote host has a restriction bypass vulnerability. It is possible to create new user accounts even when registration has been disabled in the blog configuration.
A remote attacker could exploit this to register new accounts for blogs that do not allow registration.
