Microsoft FrontPage Extensions Check

medium Nessus Plugin ID 10077

Synopsis

FrontPage extensions are enabled.

Description

The remote web server appears to be running with the FrontPage extensions.

FrontPage allows remote web developers and administrators to modify web content from a remote location. While this is a fairly typical scenario on an internal local area network, the FrontPage extensions should not be available to anonymous users via the Internet (or any other untrusted 3rd party network).
