| Detailed Description |
A version of Opera web browser which is older than version 9.20 has been installed on the host. Opera is a Web browser, developed by Opera Software, for multiple operating systems. Opera versions prior to 9.20 are vulnerable to two issues. The first issue allows a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via the UTF-7 character set. The second issue allows a remote attacker to force the client to connect to other servers, perform a proxied port scan, or obtain sensitive information by specifying an alternate server address in an FTP PASV response.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
