The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:1269 advisory.

    OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) provides administrators and users with a     graphical interface to access, provision, and automate cloud-based     resources.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A DOM-based, cross-site scripting vulnerability was found in the OpenStack dashboard, where user input     was not filtered correctly. An authenticated dashboard user could exploit the flaw by injecting an     AngularJS template into a dashboard form (for example, using an image's description), triggering the     vulnerability when another user browsed the affected page. As a result, this flaw could result in user     accounts being compromised (for example, user-access credentials being stolen). (CVE-2016-4428)
