Synopsis

PC Access Server is running on the remote host.

Description

The remote host is running Remote PC Access Server. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to the protocol transmitting username and passwords in cleartext. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this to disclose the credentials and then take control of the remote system.

Solution

Disable this service if you do not use it.
