A member of the Plone 2.5-5.1rc1 site could set javascript in the home_page property of his profile, and have this executed when a visitor click the home page link on the author page.

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 2.5.5 prior to 4.3.16, 5.0.x prior to 5.0.10. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - When you visit a page where you need to login, sends you to the login form with a 'came_from' parameter     set to the previous url. (CVE-2017-1000481)

  - A member of the Plone site could set javascript in the home_page property of his profile, and have this     executed when a visitor click the home page link on the author page. (CVE-2017-1000482)

  - Accessing private content via str.format in through-the-web templates and scripts in Plone.
    (CVE-2017-1000483)

  - By linking to a specific url in Plone with a parameter, an attacker could send you to his own website.
    (CVE-2017-1000484)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20171128) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.
