Synopsis

The remote web server contains a blog application that is affected by an unspecified vulnerability.

Description

According to its version number, the Movable Type install hosted on the remote web server is affected by an unspecified flaw when the 'comment_state()' function is processed by the 'unserialize()' function. This flaw is due to an issue with the Perl 'Storable::thaw()' function, which is considered unsafe to use on untrusted input.
