The version of DNN (formerly DotNetNuke) running on the remote web server is prior to 7.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a failure to delete installation wizard scripts post-installation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to create new administrator accounts and bypass authentication.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
