medium Nessus Plugin ID 12225

Synopsis

The remote service is vulnerable to an access control breach.

Description

The remote web server seems to allow any anonymous user to use it as a reverse proxy. This may expose internal services to potential mapping and, henceforth, compromise.

Solution

Disable or restrict access the reverse proxy.
