"According to its self-reported version number, the version of the
PowerDNS Authoritative listening on the remote host is prior to
4.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability in the API where
a remote authenticated attacker can perform operations that affect the
server state even if the api-readonly configuration is enabled.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has
instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Also, Nessus has not checked for the presence of the patch.");
