Synopsis

A web application running on the remote host has an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is using BulletScript's bsml.pl, the web interface to a mailing list manager.

The lack of authentication in this CGI may allow an attacker to gain control on the email addresses database of the remote mailing list.
A remote attacker can manipulate the 'action' parameter of bsml.pl to add or remove an email address, or to gather the list of subscribers to the remote mailing list for spam purposes.

Solution

Upgrade to the latest version of BulletScript, or disable the script.
