WorldClient for MDaemon Server Detection

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Check for WorldClient for MDaemon

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment
We detected the remote web server is
running WorldClient for MDaemon. This web server enables attackers
with the proper username and password combination to access locally
stored mailboxes.

In addition, earlier versions of WorldClient suffer from buffer overflow
vulnerabilities, and web traversal problems (if those are found the Risk
factor is higher).

Solution: Make sure all usernames and passwords are adequately long and
that only authorized networks have access to this web server's port number
(block the web server's port number on your firewall).

Network Security Threat Level: Low
