Below is the error report we get back from a scanner that reports on PCI compliance. Is there a newer version that covers this or is there a way to deal with this?

Thanks

FrontPage Authoring

The FrontPage extensions on this web server appear to allow remote

authoring without authentication. This could allow anyone to make

unauthorized modifications to your web site.

Service: Dart WebServer Tool/1.0

CVE: CVE-1999-0508

NVD: CVE-1999-0508

Reference: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ork2000/

CVSSv2: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P (Base Score:4.60)

 

Remediation Action:

Only authorized personnel should be allowed to change the content of

your web server. Reconfigure your web server to require authentication

whenever the remote authoring capabilities of FrontPage are used.

Hi,
Sorry, I do not know much about this.

The scanner must think that Front Page extensions can be used to author your site hosted by the WebServer control.
I assume this is based on the reply it sends to the scanner in response to its test.

But it might also be confused in IIS is installed on the host.
Do you know if IIS is installed on this machine?

Do you know anything else about the scan process, and is it something you can test yourself?

Here is the information about the frontpage authoring that seems to be causing the scan to produce this error:

What do you think?
