Synopsis :

The remote web server contains a CGI script that may fail to restrict
access to an installed database.

Description :

The remote host may be running Informix Webdriver, a web-to-database
interface. If not configured properly, this CGI script may give an
unauthenticated attacker the ability to modify and even delete
databases on the remote host.

*** Nessus relied solely on the presence of this CGI
it did not
*** try to determine if the installed version is vulnerable to
*** that problem.
